My name is Heather Marshall, for those of you that know me, you know that doing this is extremely out of my character. I have always been able to find a way to get things on my own without help... but right now I could really use it. I am 19 years old, with an immense amount of responsibilities and I’m struggling to keep my head above the water. We all are. On July 23rd 2019 we were brought horrible news. My father, Randy Marshall (the one in the middle of the photo) has passed away in Florida and I live in New Hampshire. We are trying to muster up as much money as possible in order to have a funeral, or cremation but we are unsure if we even can. This has been one of the most important experiences in my life and right now I’m asking for as much help as possible. I grew up with a very bad childhood. My dad left when I was five, and had been absent. Even though life has brought me through so many negative situations I’ve tried my best to make them positive. One of my brothers passed away two years ago as well, and within that experience it made me realize how short life was. Which then made me want to fix my relationship with my father (someone who felt like a complete stranger) and build a bond before it was too late. Over the last couple years we had gotten closer and I’ve learned so much about him. I spoke to him 2 weeks before he passed away and he told me he was coming back down in August. He was so determined to see me. From having an absentee father, then finally building a bond just to be ripped from me pains me more than imaginable but what hurts more is the MAJOR possibility of not being able to put him to rest. The way he should be. 100% of the money is going towards him, anything helps!!! It can literally just be a dollar because that dollar is a dollar more than we even have. Please, even if you can’t donate, SHARE this and spread awareness. I just want to put my daddy to rest with dignity. Like I said most of my life I didn’t know him, which also means I haven’t met his side of my family. Having a funeral helps me do so in that. Not only did he leave my two brothers: Riley and Taylor Marshall, & aunt, uncles, and so on behind.. My father was a very complicated person to understand, but he did care so much. Especially for my grandfather who he was taking care of. My grandfather is 89 with dementia, and we are unsure what’s going to happen to the house. Please, seriously anything helps and we are all grateful for the kind souls that do. I am as stubborn as my father was and I wouldn’t be asking if it wasn’t emergent.
