Dear Friends and Supporters,

We are reaching out to you in the midst of an unimaginable tragedy. On May 21, we lost my beloved nephew, who took his own life at the age of 27. He resided in Alexandria, Virginia, while his parents and family are in San Antonio, Texas.

My nephew was an exceptionally intelligent and wonderful individual, but he struggled with mental health challenges that we, unfortunately, could not overcome. This GoFundMe campaign aims to help cover the unexpected travel and funeral expenses that have arisen from this heart-wrenching loss.

In addition to these immediate needs, we are committed to raising mental health awareness. We plan to donate additional funds to the National Veterans Foundation, an organization that works tirelessly to provide support and care to our communities. Steven was formerly in the Air Force and many in the military today are dealing with this challenging area. My sister and her husband are determined to help other families avoid the pain they are enduring.

If we can save even one life, it will be worth every effort. Many people feel isolated, hopeless, and without help. Let’s come together to offer that hope and support.

We humbly ask for your assistance in helping our family navigate this devastating time and, more importantly, to support other families facing similar situations. No one should have to endure the pain we are experiencing—it is indescribable.

Please consider contributing to our campaign. Your generosity can make a significant difference in our lives and in the lives of others struggling with mental health issues.

Thank you for your kindness and support.

With heartfelt gratitude,

David Rasbold Jr.
