On Wednesday, August 20th, my father underwent surgery to repair an abdominal aortic aneurysm. The procedure itself was successful, however, during his recovery in the hospital, he experienced irreversible complications. Tragically, he passed away on August 23rd, leaving our family devastated and struggling to navigate the many responsibilities that come with such a sudden loss.

As my father was residing out of state, the responsibility for managing travel, post-mortem arrangements, and associated expenses has largely fallen upon my siblings. These unforeseen financial obligations have placed considerable strain on our family during a period of intense grief.

I am reaching out to compassionate friends, family, and members of the community for support in covering these essential costs. Contributions will directly assist with funeral, travel, and related expenses, enabling us to honor my father.

Even if you are unable to contribute financially, sharing this campaign would be immensely helpful and deeply appreciated. Your support, whether through donations or by spreading awareness, provides both practical relief and emotional solace during this difficult time.

I thank you for your generosity, kindness, and compassion.
