Sam Zelesky's Funeral Expense

Donation protected
Parents try to prepare for their children. They make sure they have the best diapers, the best car seat, the best schools, the best food, the best college.........

Parents NEVER prepare to bury their children. It's just not the way it's suppose to happen. In this case it did. This funding is for Sam's final expenses. Please give as the Lord lays on your heart.

Sam was a very talented young 18 year old son, brother, grandson, nephew and friend.  He had a gift for art and he loved it at a early age.  I remember meeting him for the first time when he was about 7 or 8 years old. He brought me his box of art work to show me. He was so proud of it as he should have been. He was very good.

Sam was raised in a very loving and supportive family environment. His parents did all the right things, he couldn't have asked for a better place to be. They taught him right from wrong and always tried to what was best for him. They loved him unconditionally.  Most importantly they taught him about His creator and the love God had for Sam.

Unfortunately Sam had a lot of problems, one of them being a mental health issue. The family tried to get him all the help he needed to overcome it and get it under control. If that were the only problem we wouldn't be here today trying to raise money for his funeral.

He tried to self medicate himself with legal and illegal drugs. He was his worst enemy. He tried many times to do the right thing only to find himself right back in the place of misery.  He wanted to get away from himself and he tried to use drugs to do it. This time, he lost the fight and he didn't wake up.

Please remember Sam as the smiling little guy that he was. Remember the talent he had and the dreams he dreamed. He wasn't just a troubled teen, he was so much more.

God always uses everything for His Glory. Don't let Sam's life be forgotten. If you are dealing with a mental illness, get help NOW! If you are self medicating....GET HELP NOW! Stop being your worst enemy. God did not create you only to have you destroy yourself. All things can be overcome with God's strength. 

Get your life on the right path and live one that is pleasing to God!

Please pray for his parents, his brother, his grandpa, his uncles and aunts, cousins and all of his extended Christian family for the comfort only the Spirit can provide.

Thank you in advance for all your help, financially and Spiritually.
