Help Our Family Honor and Lay Thomas McDonough to Rest

With heavy hearts, we are reaching out for support after the unexpected passing of Thomas McDonough, a beloved father, family member, and friend. His sudden loss has left our family grieving deeply as we work through the emotional and financial challenges that come with saying goodbye.

Thomas passed away at home, and the weight of this loss has made it incredibly difficult for our family to remain in the house during this immediate period of grief. As arrangements are made, we are facing the need for a few days of hotel accommodations to give our family space to process and begin healing.

Funds raised through this GoFundMe will help ease the burden of costs associated with:

• Funeral and memorial expenses to provide Thomas with a dignified and respectful farewell

• A private family viewing and vigil, allowing loved ones the time and space to say goodbye in peace before any memorial services

• Temporary hotel stays during this difficult time

• Gas and travel expenses between Bridgton and Portland, so family members can be together, support one another, and assist with arrangements

Our focus right now is on honoring Thomas’s life, supporting one another, and ensuring he is remembered with the love and respect he deserves. Any contribution—no matter the amount—will help relieve financial stress during this painful time and allow our family to grieve without added worry.

If you are unable to donate, sharing this fundraiser or keeping our family in your thoughts and prayers means more than we can express.

Thank you for your compassion, kindness, and support as we navigate this heartbreaking loss.
