Help Our Family Honor Ricky Tod Florence and His Final Gift

Our family is facing an unimaginable loss, and we are asking for help as we navigate one of the most heartbreaking moments of our lives.

Our dad recently suffered a massive stroke in his brainstem, leaving him in a locked-in state. The severity of his injury has changed everything for our family in an instant. After facing the devastating reality of his condition, he has made the heartbreaking decision to let go and donate his available organs, giving others the chance at a future and more time with the people they love.

As we prepare to say goodbye, we are also facing the unexpected financial burden of medical expenses and funeral costs. No family is ever prepared for something like this, and the suddenness of this tragedy has left us trying to process our grief while figuring out how to manage the expenses that come with it.

We are creating this fundraiser to help cover our Dad’s medical expenses and funeral arrangements, allowing our family to focus on what matters most right now: being together, honoring his wishes, and saying goodbye with the love and dignity he deserves.

Any contribution, regardless of size, would mean so much to our family during this incredibly difficult time. If you are unable to donate, sharing this fundraiser with others is just as appreciated.

Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and support as our family navigates this painful journey. Every donation, share, and thoughtful message means more than words can express.

With love, the Florence Family.
