Support Daniella and Jacob in their time of loss
Donation protected
My name is Madison Baxter and I am making this GoFundMe to raise money for my friend, Daniella and her brother, who recently lost their father Friday, August 23rd, 2024.
Ralph was diagnosed with limb-girdle muscular dystrophy at 18, a diagnosis that cast a shadow over his future. Yet, he refused to let it define him. As a father, Ralph’s love for his children, Daniella and Jacob, became his guiding light. He embraced fatherhood with boundless creativity and devotion, turning everyday moments into remarkable experiences.
Despite his physical challenges, Ralph remained deeply involved in his children’s lives. His steady belief in Daniella and Jacob’s potential became a foundation of their confidence and values. Even as his condition progressed, Ralph’s wisdom and warmth continued to guide and inspire them, teaching them resilience and compassion through his own example.
When Ralph passed away, he left behind a legacy of love and strength. Daniella and Jacob, now adults, often reflect on the heartfelt impact their father had on their lives. His spirit lives on in the values he instilled and the love he shared, shaping their paths and reminding them of the exceptional man he was. Though he is no longer physically with them, Ralph’s memory endures through the lessons he imparted and the deep, lasting bond he created with his children.
During this hard time for Daniella and Jacob, any support would be highly appreciated to cover expenses for services and burial.
