Funeral / Emergency

Donation protected
Saddens me deeply to be typing this, but on March 20, 2012, my mother passed away in a horrific house fire. On the 23rd of March 2012, I took on the responsibility of conservator-ship of my little brother Zachary with Down Syndrome. He has been the best uncle any child could ask for to my daughter Mila (having been born only 18 days prior). Zachary  played routinely with our daughter. As they became inseparable.  Zachary loved going out to the movies, eating popcorn, Harry Potter movies, Star Wars, Kylo Ren, and we had the chance to share an experience visiting Disney Land and Mid Evil Times with him. He has been an awesome addition to our family and is deeply loved and missed. My wife Aurora has been the primary care giver for Zachary while I was in the car business, attending school and teaching on the weekends. 

The morning of May 2, 2018, as we were getting up for the day, my wife found Zachary unconscious. I attempted to give Zachary life saving techniques but failed. Paramedics tried for an estimated 45 minutes, before taking him to the hospital where the Doctor pronounced him deceased. I never expected him to pass before me, and did not have funds set aside for his funeral, I also did not get any life insurance to assist me in this time. Along with my wife not having a form of income, we are asking for help, the funds will go towards his funeral expenses and anything left over will go to assisting us to move to a location that we can afford on my income alone. I hate to ask anyone for help, but I need it now more than ever.

Thank you and God bless you.
