Hi, my name is Alyssa, and I never imagined I would be writing something like this. I hate asking for help, but with this tragic event, life has tied my hands.

My dad unexpectedly passed away in Los Angeles County, and I am trying to find a way to bring him home.

He was experiencing homelessness at the time of his passing, and there were no funds, no assets, no plan, and no one else able to step in and help. Everything has fallen on me, and I feel completely overwhelmed trying to navigate this while grieving the loss of my dad.

The cost to cremate him and handle the required fees is $3,050, On top of that, I live in Northern California, so I will need to travel to Southern California and stay there for several days just to take care of everything and bring him back home with me.

I wish more than anything that I could do this on my own, but I can’t.

My dad wasn’t perfect, but he was mine. He was funny, he made everyone laugh. He didn’t have much, but he would help anyone if he could with the limited resources he had. He was deeply loved. Despite everything, he deserves dignity, and he deserves to be brought home.

I’m asking, with a very humble and heavy heart, for any help you can give. Even the smallest amount, or even simply sharing this, would mean more to me than I can put into words.

Thank you for taking the time to read this, and for holding space for me and my dad during this painful time. I just want to bring my dad home.

Love Always and Thank you so much!!,

Alyssa
