Support Tookie's Funeral and Medical Costs

Donation protected
Most of you know that my dad (Tookie) passed away very suddenly and unexpectedly on March 25, 2025. My grandmother thought she had three life insurance policies on him, but she only has one. We have to wait 3-5 business days to see how much it covers, so we won't know anything until next week.

Today, we went to make the funeral arrangements and it will be $9,000.00. (If you'd prefer to donate directly to Lafond-Ardoin Funeral Home in Opelousas, you can do that as well.) We can't go on with the services until it is paid in full. We're asking for $10,000.00 because GoFundMe takes a percentage of it and my mom will be left with all of the medical bills to come. I've personally said that I'd NEVER create a GoFundMe because people literally make accounts for anything. But here I am asking you guys to help lay our dad to rest and to cover some of the medical bills.

Those that knew my dad knew that he'd give to anyone. He was the caregiver in our family and literally took care of everyone, including his elderly parents. Now we're trying to give him the proper burial that he deserves. Any donation is greatly appreciated. We understand that times are hard; if you can't donate, prayers are even more appreciated.

(I have Cash App, PayPal, and Venmo.)

Everything goes to funeral and medical expenses.
