Hi, my name is Leilah Clark and I’m reaching out during one of the most difficult times in my life.

On October 7, 2025, I lost my dad — my rock, my protector, my best friend. His passing was sudden and has left a hole in my heart that words can’t begin to describe. He was the kind of man who would give you the shirt off his back, always putting others before himself, and showing up even when it was hard. I was lucky to call him my dad.

As I try to process this loss, I’m also faced with the reality of the financial strain it’s brought. Between unexpected funeral costs, time off work to grieve, and just trying to keep up with life while my world has been turned upside down, I’m overwhelmed — emotionally and financially.

Every donation, no matter the size, will go toward:

• Helping cover funeral and memorial expenses

• Supporting me as I take time to grieve and heal

• Keeping up with basic living costs during this tough transition

If you’re not able to give, I completely understand — just sharing this would mean the world.

More than anything, thank you for taking the time to read this. Thank you for caring. My dad believed in community, kindness, and showing up for people — and I know he’d be humbled to see people showing up for him, his only daughter and entire family.
