Raising money to lay my daddy to rest

Donation protected
Last night up into this morning, my daddy went to be with the lord. He fought a hard fight, but his body was just so tired. He had been sick about a week, but had no insurance. We went into the hospital on 01.08.2019 he didn’t feel good and was having trouble breathing. They told my momma, he had double pneumonia and were admitting him so we all thought everything was fine. Later on that night, she called saying he had coded, and it took them 5 minutes to bring my daddy back. So, my sister came and we rushed over there and ran back to see him. They had him hooked to a ventilator. And also, about 10 different machines. The whole family was there to see him, be with him, pray for him. Later that day, 01.09.2019 we found out the pneumonia had turned septic, and run the infection through his blood stream. They had him on the maximum of medications to fight this infection. And also the maximum of oxygen as even with the ventilator he was having a hard time getting enough. My daddy could hear us. He reacted to us talking and touching his hands. I thought he was going to pull through this. He’s always been so strong. Then they called us all in and told us he had a heart attack. They told us he had very little chance of waking back up. So we all were with daddy. We had to visit one by one because of course momma couldn’t leave his side. (Only two to a room at a time) lastnight I was going to stay in the lobby/waiting area. I went and seen daddy. His vitals were more normal. His swelling had come down. And his color had come back. And I felt like he had a fighting chance. They had asked everybody to go home from the lobby. And since he was stable I did come home. Not even an hour of sleep, and he had coded twice. We rushed as fast as we could to be there for him, for my mom. When I walked in, I could see them doing cpr. They done that for 45 minutes trying to bring him back. And he was still flatlining. As soon as I ran back, they called it. Our family is still in utter shock. My daddy had just turned 41 years old December 19th. This all happened within this two day period. I had talked to him before and he was fine. And video called a couple days before and he looked good. As you know, a lot of times being that young there are no plans in place. And my daddy had no kind of insurance what so ever. He deserves to have a proper funeral. If any body can, please please. It doesn’t matter how much, every little bit helps. Please donate to help us be able to lay him to rest. If you can’t donate, please share. And please pray for the rest of my family. He was a son, brother, husband, father, a grandfather to three beautiful grandchildren. He was so much to everybody. He always knew how to make everybody happy. I truly do not know how I will be able to move on from this. My daddy was too young. Thank you to any body who can contribute by donating, sharing, and or praying. We all need all the prayers we can get right now. Thank you for taking the time to read.
