Dear friends,

It is with a heavy heart that my brother, Eden and I, share the tragic news of the sudden passing of our father, Shlomo Lalouz. A father, a friend, and a kind soul, Shlomo left an indelible mark on the lives of all those he touched. As we gather to mourn his loss and celebrate his memory, we ask for your support in providing a proper farewell to this cherished member of our community.

Shlomo, originally from Israel, was a dedicated father to his two college-aged sons (25 and 22), navigating life's challenges as a single parent after his divorce. His unwavering commitment to his family, despite the hurdles he faced, was truly inspiring. Through thick and thin, Shlomo took on various jobs to provide for his children, demonstrating an extraordinary resilience that earned him the admiration and respect of those around him.

Now, in the wake of this unimaginable loss, my brother and I are faced with the daunting task of covering the funeral expenses. With no expendable funds, we are in dire need of our support during this difficult time. We have set a goal of raising $17,000 to help give our father a kosher funeral to rest.

In times of loss, we are reminded of the bonds that unite us, and the power of community to uplift those in need. Your contribution, no matter the size, will make an immense difference in our lives as we try to navigate the painful road ahead.

As we pay tribute to Shlomo's life, let us also remember the strength of the human spirit and the Jewish people that he embodied so beautifully. Your generosity will not only help ensure a fitting tribute to this remarkable individual but also provide a beacon of hope Eden and I as we face the future without their beloved father.

Thank you for your heartfelt support during this challenging time. Any help is greatly appreciated.

With the deepest gratitude,

Johnathon "Yoni" and Eden Lalouz
