Support Ray's Funeral Costs, Pet Care & Medical Bills

If you’re reading this, you already know that Raymond Franklin, beloved son, brother, uncle, godfather, friend to many, and parent to several beloved cats, passed away last week, after a severe asthma attack.

Raymond was loving and generous, always looking out for the vulnerable, whether human or animal. He worked in peer recovery, sometimes professionally and always personally, and never gave up on another living being. Even in death, he continued to give of himself — literally this time — as an organ donor.

Raymond’s sudden passing means that our family is caring for his pets, while also planning his funeral and beginning to address medical expenses. As several friends have reached out asking to contribute to all of the above, we, Raymond’s family members, are starting a GoFundMe to create one central, easy way for them to do so.

Please do not feel any obligation to contribute financially, but we thank you in advance if you choose to do so. We’re grateful for your prayers, fellowship, and memories of Ray.

If you’d like further information or to attend Raymond’s funeral, feel free to reach out to us.

Thank you,

Larry, Christa, Anna, Pierce and Fionan
