Well, once again, I am reaching out to my village as I am in need of desperate help. As many of you know, my father passed away unexpectedly. Unexpected, as in, my dad chose to end his life for reasons I will never understand. As of now, my dad's body remains at the funeral home, and we cannot get him cremated until it is paid in full. Cremation expenses are 3,000 dollars, and my dad left us with nothing except a note that we cannot even read because it's in evidence under investigation. I am not disclosing this to put my dad on blast, or for pity, but to merely help you grasp the severity of this situation.

My sister and I are separated throughout this entire loss, and we've been trying to navigate the loss of our father from states away, while we now face the reality that we are the only members left of our direct family - by choice. I'm overwhelmed, I am exhausted, I am so fucking angry, and I am empty. I really, really, really need help getting my dad cremated. It took me nearly 3 weeks of exhausting every single option possible to avoid having to ask for help this way. I assure you, this is the last thing I want to do is come to you and ask for money to help us get back what's left our dad. I... I don't know what else to say... I'm sorry.... to everyone who knew and loved my dad - I truly am. And thank you to everyone who's been my foundation and a part of my village throughout the years. I've been held, supported, embraced, and encouraged to stand back up countless times by each and every one of you and I have no doubt that this time is no different.

I love you all... Thank you... I'm sorry.
