Help me be able to bury my father

Donation protected
Thursday, October 1st 2015.. My brothers and I had our world turned upside down because that is the day my father died unexpectedly due to suicide. He was a loving husband, father and brother. My dad lived a hard life, worked in the coal mines, lost his parents at a young age, and he's been in bad health for some time now. We all have unanswered questions but we are in need of help of the funeral cost. We've lost our father at a young age, we weren't prepared for this. We assumed we had many years with him. No one is ever prepared for this, you never know one day from the next. Although, this is not our first suicide in the family it never gets easier. Especially, since it's our father. He seemed as though things were looking up for him the last time I spoke with him. This is very hard for all of us, but my heart goes out my step sister Alyson who is only 10 years of age and had to be the one to find him. My step mom Dawn, is without a husband. My brothers and I are without a father and his siblings are without their brother. He was a good caring and hard working man who would've helped anyone in need. He will be greatly missed by all of us. So, my family and I are asking for any help to cover the funeral cost.. Seeing as none of us were prepared for this financial or emotionally. We are also having a benefit at Bottoms Up Bar n Grill in Jeffersonville, Ohio on Friday, October 9th. Starting at 8pm. You can donate money here or donate any items for auction at the benefit. The number for Bottoms Up is [phone redacted]. Any persons or organizations claiming to be collecting for our family other than Bottoms Up or this page, is NOT legitimate or approved by our family. Thank you all for you kindness, any donations are greatly appreciated.
The funeral will be held at Powers Kell Funeral home in Jamestown at 12pm Saturday, October 10th, 2015.
