Celebration of Life Trip

Donation protected
My oldest son Sean died April 15, 2015 from a drug overdose. He was only 46 years old. We had him in rehab in December and he was clean until early April when he relapsed. He was living as a roommate with my stepdaughter Renee who found his body when she came home from work that night.

His brother Tony, 4 years younger, is hosting a "Celebration of Life" memorial for Sean on July 26th, which would have been his 47th birthday, in the San Francisco Bay Area where the boys grew up and he'd like for Renee and I to fly down and stay from the 24th through the 27th.

Neither Renee nor I can afford the air, hotel and rental car fees for the trip on our own so we're asking for help in funding it. I have Sean's ashes and would like to bring them down to scatter them in the Pacific and many of Sean's friends have expressed the wish to meet and console Renee (who was understandably devastated at finding Sean dead in her living room the night of April 15th).

All help will be gratefully appreciated. Thank you so much for your support. And any money in excess of the actual travel costs will go to Renee to offset the bills Sean ran up while living with her. We appreciate your generousity!
