Thank you!
Samantha Braley has ended this fundraiser. Donations are no longer being accepted.
This memorial fundraising campaign is now closed.
Background
My Dad, known to many as Charley, was diagnosed with late stage 4 cancer in early December 2025. Though, he was already dealing with other health issues even before that, by January 30, 2026, he was unable to push through it any longer. Unfortunately, he wasn't able to leave much when he recently passed, due to coverage issues fully resolving until the end of May of 2026, but, cancer wait's for no one.
I was hoping to help ease the burden for my mom; Sandra, who is navigating through the loss of her husband, and partner of 46 years, since now we are having to come out of pocket for most of the funeral expenses, and final arrangements.
If anyone is able to help, and send any amount towards those things, it would help ease this time immensely for our family. Even if you can't donate, check-in with my mom, drop off a meal, or call her and chat, anything will help right now.
We are also setting up a Zelle account for my mom, if anyone would rather donate through there instead.
Thank you, everyone.
