Honoring a Hero and caring father and helping his loved ones

On a day that changed our lives forever, my brother-in-law gave the ultimate sacrifice — his life — to save my sister and her children from a flash flood that submerged their home.

As the floodwaters rose rapidly, my brother-in-law acted without hesitation. Authorities had already evacuated nearby areas but failed to notify the residents still inside their homes. Trapped with no warning and no help, he broke a window to get his wife and kids out, injuring himself in the process. Despite bleeding heavily, he refused to give up — not until he was certain that his baby, his wife, and their other child were safe.

Only after they were rescued did he let go. He died a hero, wrapped in love and courage — a man who protected his family with everything he had.

Our family is devastated. We’re mourning a man who meant everything to us, and we’re also facing the immense emotional and financial burden that comes with such a sudden and tragic loss. We’re asking for support to help cover funeral expenses, trauma care, and to help my sister and her children rebuild their lives after surviving such a harrowing experience.

Please consider donating, sharing, or simply keeping our family in your thoughts. Every bit of help, no matter the size, means more than we can ever express.

Thank you for helping us honor a true hero.
