Funeral Expenses for Our Father

Hello everyone, we hope you all are doing well during these rough times.  As some of you may already know but if not, our father, Jay Vang has passed away suddenly this morning on June 3, 2020 due to cirrhosis (liver disease).  He leaves behind his mother Zang Thao and his two sisters, Mai Vang and Ma Her. He was a loving husband to Lena Thao whom he had been married for over 26 years. He was the greatest father ever known to his 8 beautiful children. His 3 sons; Charles, Peter, and Billy and his 5 daughters; Pashia, Kathy, Lucy, Rosey, and Amy. Jay also enjoyed being a grandpa to his 7 beautiful grand-kids but his life was cut too short to watch them grow up. Jay was going to be celebrating his 48th birthday on June 15th. We had a big celebration planned for him including doing a Father's Day celebration. He has long fought the battle with liver disease since 2015. It was surely a long and hard fight in which we thought and prayed he was going to win. While waiting for a liver transplant little did we know the disease has started to spread to his kidneys. Jay was admitted to St. John's Hospital on June 1st because he became unstable and disoriented to the point where he was not responding to us. When he arrived the doctors ran tests, MRI, and lab work to find out he also had contracted renal disease due to cirrhosis. A disease in which the kidneys cannot filter waste and take out the bad blood toxins. At this point any hope of a transplant would not be possible because his kidneys had been affected and have started to fail on him due to his liver disease. We were informed from the doctors that they only had a 1% chance of helping him. As for the family, this was what we held onto, that this 1% would turn around and he would get better. We were also informed that if he were to get any sicker, he would pass and it was only a waiting game now. We were told he would stay overnight to see if hopefully his kidneys would get better in order for our father to start dialysis.  Soon enough, the second morning of his stay at the hospital came from a phone call that no one ever wants to hear. The next following day, on June 3rd, 2020 at 5:10am was the day that our world fell apart. Our father Jay, passed away suddenly because his kidneys had shut down. They were unable to function anymore and withstand the growing progressions of cirrhosis and there was nothing that the doctors could do. We are still in disbelief, shock, pain, and saddened because of this news. There are so much emotions we are feeling. Now we no longer have a father, our mother no longer has a husband, and our grandma no longer has a son.  We ask if you can help donate to help cover our father's funeral expenses as it would be greatly appreciated. If you're unable to donate, sending a little prayer or letting us know we are in your thoughts would mean the world to us. We understand this time is hard for everyone and appreciate you taking the time to be with us while we are grieving for our father.
