My name is Johnathan. My father passed away suddenly on January 12th. He was 59. He spent more than thirty years building houses and doing odd jobs related to construction in our community, and he died doing what he loved. He was on a job and collapsed. We are waiting to hear back for an official cause of death, but his friends who were with him said it could have been a heart attack.

Building houses in a rural area does not generate much income. My father was able to raise a family and keep a roof over our heads, but he did not put back much money over the years. My mother has not had a job for many years, so my father was the breadwinner, so to speak, and paid their bills.

We know all too well how expensive funerals can be, so we are asking for any assistance you might be able to give to help get us through these rough times. If you are unable to contribute financially, then please say a quick prayer for our family. We can use all of the help that we can get.
