Background
On Sunday February 1st, we celebrated my dad’s 67th birthday and retirement. Later that evening, he went into cardiac arrest and was not able to get a pulse for nearly 40 mins. Within a few days we found out he had an anoxic brain injury, taking away his ability to think and walk. The injury got worse and left my entire family heart broken. We sadly said our goodbyes and my dad is finally at peace. We kindly ask for any donations to help with funeral costs, all extras raised will go to medical expenses and to my mom in helping her feel taken care of while she gets back on her feet in this tough time. Anything offered is helpful and truly appreciated. Thank you for your love, support and prayers.
