My dad was the kind of person who would always be there for anyone who needed help. Whenever someone called, he would drop everything to lend a hand, whether it was a friend, a neighbor, or a family member. For our family—just me, my mom, and him—he was our rock. He would do anything for us, no matter what, and his love and support meant the world to us.

His passing was completely unexpected, and it has left us not only heartbroken but also facing bills we weren’t prepared for, especially from the hospital. My dad was retired and 70 years old, and we simply didn’t have a plan for something like this. Now, my mom and I are trying to manage everything on our own, and it’s been overwhelming at times.

If you’re able to support my mom and me, it would mean so much. Even if you can’t give, just reading and sharing our story is appreciated. Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to read this—I truly appreciate it from the bottom of my heart.
