Honor Papa's Memory: Support Gianna's Family

Hi, my name is Gianna, and I am reaching out with a heavy heart to ask for your support during this incredibly difficult time for my family and me.

On Friday afternoon, I received the devastating news that my father had passed away suddenly. This unexpected loss has created a huge, unimaginable void in the heart of our family, and we are struggling to come to terms with the reality of our new world without him.

My father, whom we affectionately called "Papa," was an incredible man. He was loving, kind, and had an infectious spirit that lit up every room he walked into. Looking back at our time together, I am filled with nothing but gratitude for the memories we shared—every laugh, every conversation, every moment that made him the strong, loving figure he was in my life and the lives of so many others. There is no question that he made this world a better place.

With this drastic shift, my mother and I are now faced with an overwhelming number of unexpected expenses—funeral costs, travel arrangements, and the countless things that come with navigating such a heart-wrenching transition. These expenses are something neither of us had planned for, and in our grief, we are reaching out to our community for help.

If you are able, we would be so deeply appreciative of any donation to help cover these costs during this overwhelming time. Every contribution, no matter how small, will go directly to the funeral and travel expenses that have come so suddenly upon us.

We understand that times are tough for so many, so if you're unable to donate, your thoughts, prayers, and support mean just as much. The love and kindness we’ve already received from family, friends, and even strangers have meant the world to us, and we are so grateful for all of you.

Thank you for taking the time to read this, and for helping honor my Papabear's incredible life. He will always be in our hearts, and we are eternally grateful for any support you can offer.

With love and gratitude,
