Cremation and memorial service

Hi, my name is crystal

I am starting this fundraiser to raise money for my dads memorial service and his cremation and unpaid bills

 

On November 23 my brother and I lose our father Ramon Ayala to a long battle of cancer that eventually spread throughout his whole body. Throughout his 3 year battle my dad never gave up. Going through two rounds of chemo, two rounds of radiation and chemo pills and radiation shots at the end . my dad went through many surgeries every 3 months and he never complained about the pain or the toll it was doing in his body.

 

My dad was only 66 years old when he passed. His passion in life was an upholster. He could redo any boat/car/furniture/ casino decor with no hesitation. He definitely one of a kind. My dads life wasn't easy growing up with losing both parents and his sisters to cancer in their young lives. My dad endured a constant pain from braking his hip when he was just a child. But it never defied who he was going to be in his life. He just kept pushing forward no matter what obstacles he had to face.

 

Last three months were his worse days. Finding out that his surgeries can now end his life. To finding out that the radiation and chemo were no longer working. For the doctors to tell him to his face there is nothing else we can do to try and prolong your life. That's when my dad broke down and said why me? I have done all these things for nothing. Just for the doctors to say there is nothing else they can do. It hurt me to see my dad feel defeat and to see him break down and cry. There was nothing I could do to help fix him.

 

I told him if it wasn't for all his fighting the passed 3 years he endured. He wouldn't have been here to spend more time with his grand kids. To spend more time with my brother and I. Or even build a better relationship with his friends. I told him don't think of this as if the cancer won. Its just the doctors can only do so much. I told him think of this as a time for you to spend as much time with the people you love and not have to worry about any more doctor appointments. Just live life to the fullest.

 

My dad was placed in hospice the last 2 months were I was the one caring for him. We chose my house because he would be surrounded by all his grand children and be able to have visitors. I did not want him to ever feel alone. Nursing home wouldn't allow visitors on matter the circumstance. He was surround by all the love in the house when he passed. I feel in my heart he was at peace when he passed. He knew it was his time to go and protect us from above.

 

I did not think I would be making his account. I thought it would be so expensive to finalize everything for my dad but it is. Im a single mom just trying to make the best for my dad finale good bye.

 

I will appreciate whatever you guys can spare. I know with the holidays right around the corner money is tight. But I will be truly grateful for anything to get me close to my goal amount

 

 

Thank you in advanced to everyone and my god bless you all

 

Thank you from my whole heart. Crystal galvez
