Hi, my name is Almeka, and I’m creating this fundraiser as a result of the sudden and heartbreaking loss of my sons' father, Ishquan.

Ish passed away very unexpectedly, and our family is now faced with the painful task of planning his funeral and moving foward with out him— something we were not at all emotionally nor financially prepared for.

If you knew Ish, then you knew that he loved his boys so much. My children are left without a father and his loved ones are left without a son, brother, nephew and friend.

Heartbroken is an understatement. We really want to be able give him the proper homegoing he deserves. He was a loving father, a guiding light to his sons, and someone who meant so much to so many. In this difficult time, we’re asking for help to cover the funeral and burial expenses so we can properly lay him to rest.

Any amount, no matter how small, is deeply appreciated and will go directly toward funeral costs. Anything left over will go toward expenses for our children. Please keep our family — especially our boys — in your prayers.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your support, your love, and your kindness.

With gratitude,

Almeka & The Bardon/McCoy Family
