In Loving Memory Of My Dad.
March 1, 1942 - February 21, 2021

My name is George Francis, III, My Dad, George Francis, Jr. was a U.S. Marine for 42 years, retiring as a CWO-4. He also served in Desert Storm in 90/91. And from 1970 to now, served as my personal hero and Dad to four children. During his lifetime, he operated his own business in radio, while balancing his home life with U.S. Marine Reserves. He has had poor health since serving in Desert Storm. He purchased his house that he last lived in around 2004, and got a mortgage. His health gradually declined thru those years, and I, (his son) moved back in with him to take day to day care of him and the house. He fell and broke his hip, and had major surgery to fix it... and has had prostate cancer and treatment to save his life around 5 years ago. Most recently, about 3 years ago, he fell and broke his back and had to have surgery again. The surgery was unsuccessful, and he had to have another surgery to do further repairs. He ended up having a cardiac arrest while on the table, which caused a brain bleed, stroke, and dementia due to the surgery. He came back home and I took as good of care as I possibly could of him, shuttling him to doctor's appointments, and scheduling in home care nurse appointments, but it soon became apparent, that he needed skilled nursing home care in a facility. I know I took care of him the best way I could, but I still feel like I have let him down, due to his commitment to a nursing home, and then him dying shortly after. While at the nursing home, he had several falls, and the last fall broke his hip again. He needed emergency surgery to repair the damage. But since the cancer treatment, his healing powers were basically non-existent. The surgery wound did not heal properly, and he got a life threatening infection inside his hip. He had surgery to clear the infection, and subsequent rounds of antibiotics. Since then, he had a blood clot develop in his lung, and had to be taken to the hospital again. Over the last few months of his life, his mental status went down hill, and his dementia got worse. He was transferred to the VA Hospital. During that time, his hip infection came back, and he could not have the surgery. The doctors could not do anything more to save him. My Dad died February 21, 2021. As I type this, I am crying so hard for my Dad. His house, that I am currently still living in, has $128,000 still left on the mortgage. But I need to buy it outright from my 3 siblings for $265,000 to keep the house from being sold. Not only did I lose my precious Dad, but I will lose the house and everything in it. I am Praying and Begging God for relief from this. I am scared to be homeless, and do not want to lose his house. Please, Please, if anyone can help me by sending a gift of $1.00, $20.00 or $1000, or even simply praying for my situation, however you can help, I would be GREATLY forever in your debt! I pray that God will make a way for me. I ask God that the mortgage be paid in full. I have gone thru all of my savings and have nothing left. Please, can someone help me? George Francis, III / Faithful Son
