Hey guys, this is Elijah. My dad was the strongest man you could have ever met. His whole life was heartbreak, but he was with me for 19 years of that. He passed away from Stage 4 cancer coming back. He had to get a tube in his stomach and a tube in his throat, and I woke up to him passed away in his bed. My dad was all I had since my mom was a drug addict. He raised me alone until he was finally put to rest. He was also a veteran; he loved helping people, even some people who didn’t deserve help.

I made this GoFundMe because the funeral cost was more than I expected. But I never had to go to or plan a funeral, so I never knew it was like this. Any help is appreciated. Thank you. I love my dad.
