<div>✅ GOAL REACHED! Thank you for the incredible support! We will continue to post updates below regarding travel logistics and memorial arrangements.

</div>
<div>Hi, I am setting up this fundraiser on behalf of my dad, <strong>Peter Manos</strong>.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My dad is facing an unimaginable reality: the sudden loss of his two brothers, <strong>Steve Manos </strong>and <strong>George Manos</strong>. They passed away tragically just three weeks after moving to start a new chapter in Welch, West Virginia. My dad is now the lone surviving brother and is solely responsible for bringing them home to Massachusetts. <strong>(See news reports of the tragedy here: </strong><a href="https://www.wvva.com/2025/12/02/two-bodies-found-near-welch/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>WVVA - Two bodies found near Welch</strong></a> <strong> and </strong><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MNYjQkVMbyk" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>ABC 4 WOAY TV - Bodies Found in Welch</strong></a><strong>)</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We have set an urgent goal of <strong>$10,000</strong>. This amount covers the minimum viable costs required to fulfill his duty, including the two cremations, emergency pet care, and final arrangements.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This message is directly from my dad, Peter Manos:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><em>"I am heartbroken to share the sudden and unexpected loss of my two beloved brothers, Steve and George. Only three weeks after relocating from Florida to start a new chapter in their home in Welch, West Virginia, they tragically passed away together. Losing both of them at once has left me devastated beyond words.</em>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><em>We were raised in Jamaica Plain by our mother Mary, and the three of us were extremely close all these years. That bond never faded; it grew stronger over the years. Losing Steve and George has left a hole in my life that can never be filled.</em>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><em>Steve and George shared a love for cars, especially classic sport cars and just sport cars in general. As well loving the timeless music of The Beatles. They were excited about the future they were building. Their sudden passing makes this loss even more painful and difficult to process.</em>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><em>An immediate crisis arose with their two beloved dogs, who were left alone in the home for over a week after their passing. Surviving only thanks to a bag of kibble left by a trooper, the dogs were in distress and desperately needed medical care. I traveled from Massachusetts with my son, daughter, and nephew to rescue the dogs and bring them to safety, where they are now receiving the medical attention and love they need. </em>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><em>Thank you for your compassion, kindness, and support as I honor Steve and George’s memory and carry their love forward in my heart."</em>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><em>-Peter Manos</em>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Because this tragedy occurred out of state, the financial and logistical demands - including managing <strong>two separate estates</strong> - are larger than my parents were ready for. <strong>The funds raised will go directly to covering these five costs:</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li><strong>Final Arrangements (WV)</strong> - Confirmed cost of two cremations and legal travel paperwork.
</li>
<li><strong>Emergency Pet Costs</strong> - Emergency veterinary care, prescription medication, and direct transport costs for the two dogs.
</li>
<li><strong>Interstate Transfer &amp; Coordination</strong> - Minimally-budgeted travel, lodging, and transport for two necessary trips to West Virginia.
</li>
<li><strong>Closing the Residence</strong> - Resolving three vehicles (transport/return/drive back) and professional basic cleaning.
</li>
<li><strong>Memorial Service (BOS)</strong> - Cost for a modest memorial gathering, venue, and refreshments in Massachusetts.
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Total goal:</strong> $10,000
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Any support, whether through donation or by sharing this campaign, means the world as my dad works to bring Steve and George home.
</div>
