My name is Yvonne Paytosh and I am Michael's sister-in-law. Today I am asking you to please donate to help cover the funeral expenses for Michael Paytosh.

Michael has been fighting a long battle with brain cancer that has depleted the family savings. Michael worked at the steel mill and when the building was idled he lost his benefits.

He is now under hospice care at home and will be leaving behind his wife and two sons. Our family is heartbroken and it isn't fair. Michael fought the cancer long and hard because he wanted so badly to see his sons graduate school and get married. He wanted to see his grandchildren.

The only thing I can imagine that is worse than losing your husband or father so young, is to also inherit an enormous debt and worry about where you will find the money for the funeral expenses. My goal is to raise funds to help defray the funeral expenses so that this family can spend their last days together without that burden hanging over them. I know many of us are feeling the effects of the shuttered steel mill and the deprssed economy and any donation would be very much appreciated in this troubling time.

Thank you,
Yvonne Paytosh
