It has been incredibly painful watching my aunt lose her father, and we are trying everything we can to help her give him the beautiful and peaceful goodbye he deserves. To honor his memory and ease some of the weight on her shoulders, we’ve come together to help however we can.

Hi, my name is Natalie, and I’m writing on behalf of my aunt, Judy Aphayvong, who is grieving the heartbreaking loss of her beloved father, Mr. John Aphayvong. After undergoing triple bypass surgery, he was beginning to recover and we were hopeful — but sadly, he went into sudden cardiac arrest while in the ICU and passed away shortly after.

In the midst of this unimaginable loss, we’ve started a GoFundMe to help ease the financial burden on the family. All funds will go toward funeral expenses and providing support as they navigate this incredibly difficult time. Any donations, no matter the size, truly helps — and even sharing this means more than you know. Thank you for your kindness, prayers, and compassion during this very difficult time.
