Helping My Dad Through His Final Chapter

Donation protected
Our family is going through an incredibly difficult time, and I’m reaching out for support. My father is now at the end of his hospice journey. I am urgently trying to cover the costs of his end-of-life arrangements.

For over 7 years, I have been the full-time caregiver for my father. In 2019, he was hit by a car and suffered a traumatic brain injury. Since then, his health has steadily declined, and he is now in hospice care, living with vascular dementia and nearing the end of his life.

Caring for him has been an honor, but it has also required me to step away from work and sacrifice a significant portion of my income in order to be there for him every day. As a single mother of three, this has placed an even greater strain on our family.

My father is a veteran and a hardworking, giving man. He raised me alone and always did what he could to provide for others, but unfortunately he has no savings or retirement to support him now.

I am raising funds to help cover end-of-life expenses, give him the celebration of life he deserves, and help support our family during this incredibly heavy time. I am doing my best to manage everything on my own, but the financial strain has become overwhelming.

People often ask how they can help in times like this. If you are able to contribute, it would truly make a meaningful difference for our family. If not, sharing this fundraiser is just as appreciated.

Thank you for taking the time to read and for any support you can give.

Funds will go toward end-of-life expenses, a celebration of life, and helping our family stay afloat during this time.
