Mae is facing the difficult and unexpected task of arranging a memorial service for her father, Douglas Johns. Douglas served in the U.S. Army and touched many lives with his music—he wrote songs, sang, and played both guitar and harmonica. He was also known for his delicious homemade sauces and his love of barbecuing, bringing friends and family together for good food and great memories.

Sadly, Douglas had never finalized any end-of-life plans, leaving Mae to handle the costs of his memorial service on her own. The expenses have become overwhelming, and Mae is doing her best to honor her father's memory while managing these financial challenges. She wants to give Douglas the meaningful farewell he deserves, surrounded by those who loved him.

Any support you can give will help Mae cover the costs of the memorial service and ease the burden during this difficult time. Please consider donating or sharing this fundraiser to help Mae as she navigates this loss and works to celebrate her father's life.
