Dear friends, family, and compassionate strangers,

It is with shattered hearts that I share the tragic and sudden passing of my beloved son, Daniel Erving. At only 18 years old, Daniel’s life was taken from us far too soon as the result of a homicide. As a single mother, this loss is beyond anything I could have ever imagined, and I am still trying to process this unimaginable pain.

Daniel was a young man full of life, love, and potential. He had a kind heart, a bright smile, and dreams that deserved the chance to be fulfilled, he wanted to enlist into the military.

To know Daniel was to love him, and his absence has left a void that can never be filled.

As I grieve, I am also faced with the unexpected financial burden of funeral expenses. I want to give Daniel the dignified and loving heavenly home going he deserves, returning him to the Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour with the honor, love and respect he deserves. I’m currently unable to manage the expenses on my own and during this heartbreaking time I ask for your help and financial support. To be transparent as a single parent I have a term life insurance policy on myself but in this situation it doesn’t help.

I am asking for your support to help cover funeral services, burial costs, and related expenses. Any contribution—no matter how small—will go directly toward honoring Daniel’s life and helping our family through this difficult time. If you are unable to donate, I kindly ask that you share this fundraiser and keep our family in your thoughts and prayers.

Thank you for your kindness, compassion, and support. Your generosity means more than words can express.

With love and gratitude,

The Erving Family
