Father passed away leaving 3 young children

Donation protected
A good man has died unexpectedly and his family needs support .
I had the honor and privilege to know him. He was the person doing my lawn. He also fixed all the things in my house. He had integrity. He was a decent man.
He was an honest and hard working man. He always had a smile on his face.
He was a good father too. I saw him several times bringing his little son to accompany him while he worked. He used to teach him his craft.
He was grateful every time we gave him some used clothes or toys my kids didn't play with anymore. I saw him many times working under a fierce sun as well as under several degrees below the freezing point. Always smiling when I gave him a glass of water or a hot cup of chocolate. He always thanked God for having a job.
Last time I saw him was Thursday August 20th  while he was eating lunch under the shadow of the cherry tree at the entrance of my house. 
He suddenly died on  Friday, August 21st.
A massive stroke is what I heard...
They say that only the good die young. I think is true.
He was a good human being through and through, and now he leaves back a wife and 3 children alone and in economical hardship.    He was the breadwinner of the house.
I don't know how many lives this man touched but I can certainly say I was one of them.
He deserves my prayers. He deserves my recognition.
A lot of heroes don't wear a cape. A lot of good people exist around us and we barely notice them.
I write this words because I want to pay tribute to an exceptional man whose achievements are not trophies or titles; neither they are economical success nor fame. One of his achievements was to teach me that above all things, humbleness and honesty are far more important than any other recognition and that being thankful with your life in spite of any other hardship defines you as successful.
Keep smiling. That's how I will remember him.

We need your  support to help his widow with three young children to survive for the next weeks until she figures out how to support her family.
This family needs food, clothing and money to pay the bills and rent. She needs to figure out how to keep running his landscaping business so she now can be the support of her family.
