My father didn’t have life insurance and lived off of disability since his late 20s after a motorcycle accident. And for the last 4 years of his life battled heart problems, diabetes, renal failure, dialysis 3 times a week and Cancer. Undergoing the most aggressive chemotherapy and radiation, to which left his throat, where the first mass was blasted away, weak. In the end led to him having aspiration and eventually pneumonia. He had 2 children, myself and my sister, Elizabeth. Unfortunately Elizabeth has been battling a severe drug addiction since she was a teenager. Now at 47 years old she is incarcerated down in the state of Texas. Leaving me to face the responsibilities of his death alone. I lost my mother to cancer unexpectedly back in 2016. My Father was not married when he died therefore the legal financial burden of his death is solely on me. With financial and life challenges of my own past mistakes. I had just begun rebuilding my life. As a survivor of multiple traumatic abuses over the course of my life I am not in the position to afford to pay for his funeral costs which total $5000. That is why I am making this plea for help. I’d be beyond grateful for any blessing given. May God bless you for your generosity in my families time of need. The money will be spent to pay the Pflanz funeral home for the cremation expenses. Contribute
