Three months to live

 My Pop’s was diagnosed with stage four prostate cancer in February of 2024 The doctor’s told us he has a good chance of beating it if we hit it hard with chemo and radiation

They said it will make him sick of course but he has a good chance of beating it. For the next few months that’s what we did Chemo took a lot out of him but we were not giving up Come September we received the good news his cancer was in remission Thank God then two days later I was in a bad accident and fractured my back and can’t work  bill’s piling up and I’m about to lose everything And by the grace of God everything starts to turn around or so we thought on July 8th 2025 I had to take my pop’s to the emergency room he was peeing blood After being seen The doctor came out and told me I need to take him home Call hospice there’s nothing they can do for him the cancer returned with a vengeance it’s all through his body in his blood and bones there’s nothing more they can do they gave him 6 months to live His six months will be up in January and we don’t think he will make it until then. We have a short time to make funeral arrangements for him but have no money to do it. I have no one to ask it’s just us I’ve been making phone calls and the only help I’ve found was Social security will give me $250.00 when he dies to help with the final costs.  He doesn’t want to be cremated because he’s afraid his spirit won’t be at rest if he is.And a funeral service cost over $10.000
Please if there is anyone that can help us 🙏 I am running out of time I thank you from the bottom of my heart God bless you

Last days with my dying maternal grandfather

My maternal Grandfather is living his last sunrises and sunsets.

As he has been diagnosed with metastated lung cancer, his 90 year old self is counting the last laughs, the last breaths, the last times feeling the wind on his native island of Martinique. He is experiencing his last everything, and I would like to be with him through those last moments. Surely our relationship has never been easy. Surely, there are many grudges I could hold, with reason, against him. But these past few years, whether not quite obvious or simple, something rekindled between the two of us through him teaching me about the trees whose name I would have never known had he told me about them.

8000 km is an unfathomable distance to begin to mourn someone. It creates such worry, such anxiety, such pain. It adds to the condition of a Caribbean identity so complex, so harsh. 8000 km, and a flight ticket, and the car rental, and the appartement rental, an unfathomable amount of money to make sure you are able to say goodbye to a loved one. So that you don’t spend the rest of your life regretting not taking part in the last embrace.

Since 2019, I have committed to returning to Martinique every year. Trying to repare a relationship that needed much mending. Trying to understand. Trying to learn. Trying to love a caribbean treasure desired by most for its luxurious appearance but not profoundly valued. Every year (except for 2020), I have returned to an island that was never quite mine to begin with although it is undeniably a part of me. I have hoped for change, social, political, I have prayed hope would eventually grow in this place of despair but to be honest, I am no longer sure I can, or ever will see it change.

Now that my grandfather is sick, now that he is dying, spending his last days, on the island that has carried him all life long, I would like to be by his side for his last breath or perhaps while he shares his last knowledge of a tree I may have never heard of.

I have had to delay my trip due to financial issues, I am having a tough time this year managing it as I so happen to lose my cat of ten years in July and the cremation is quite costly (900€). So if you could kindly help with the cost of my trip to Martinique so I can spend my grandfather’s last days with him, it would be so thoughtful. Staying overthere for the next few months would cost minimum around 7000€ which includes (housing, car rental or car reparation of my grandfather’s dysfunctioning car, plane ticket, food with 40% more tax than in France, gas).

Thank you for taking the time to read me.

Lend a hand to support our boys left behind

My name is Janel, and I am reaching out with a heavy heart on behalf of Eli age 11, Elliott age 9, Edison age 5, who have recently suffered the unimaginable loss of their beloved father,Gaudencio Cardenas.

Gaudencio passed away unexpectedly on July24, leaving behind not only his 3 sons but also a family and community that loved him deeply. He was a devoted father, a hardworking man, and someone who always put his children first.

In addition to funeral expenses, the boys now face:

Immediate living expenses

School supplies and tuition

Counseling and mental health support

Long-term stability and basic needs

Your contribution will go directly toward helping these young boys stay safe, supported, and focused on their futures during this devastating time. Every dollar counts, and any amount you can give will make a lasting impact.

Funeral expenses

Hello,

I am setting up this account to help pay for my brothers funeral expenses as he was killed in a motorcycle accident that occurred on June 18th 2025, we ended up having to pull life support on June 27th 2025. We are all very heartbroken 💔 as it was so sudden. He leaves behind a wife and son, my father and his siblings. He had a special way with animals and could fix anything put in front him. He loved riding his motorcycles and fixing cars. He taught me how to drive and was the best brother anyone could have. We would give anything to hear him laugh again or just talk on the phone. We are asking for help with the funeral costs because it was so sudden and we weren’t prepared at all to deal this.

NEED HELP TO PAY RENT AFTER 2 SETS OF FUNERAL EXPENSES

Hello to the wonderful people in our community,

I recently lost two of my family members dearest to me – my mother-in-law who lived with my partner and I, who I had grown very close to.. and my grandmother, also very dear to my heart.  As we did our best to honour their final wishes it costed us $20,000. to take my mother-in-law back to her home country for her final funeral rites. This included international transportation, holding in funeral homes, proper permissions/paperwork and coordination across borders, other funeral costs and flights. In addition, attending my grandmother’s funeral required funeral and flight costs too – a process that stretched over a month into two months. Two months away from our jobs and dipping into our savings.

We exhausted our savings to cover these sudden expenses and are now two months behind on rent – $4,000. We have been trying to work out a repayment plan with our landlord but that is not an option. It would be near impossible to move as we don’t have first and last month’s rent much less a deposit to put on any new place.

We’ve just recently started working again and are doing everything we can to get back on our feet. A friend of mine suggested this site and I thought well why not give it a try. We are kindly asking for support as any contribution would go a long way to offset the costs we incurred but most importantly to catch up on rent and stabilize our living situation while we continue rebuilding.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for reading and for considering our request. Your kindness and generosity mean us being able to come back stronger from our loss and get back on our feet soon.

I had made a post before but forgot to add the paypal.me

Please send any amount of help to paypal.me/sendingloveonabeam

With gratitude.

Sending love on a beam to all those who have lost someone dear to them <3

Help Melissa’s Children Through Tragedy

Melissa was one of the most generous and loving souls I’ve ever known. Her smile lit up every room, and even in her darkest moments, she never stopped helping others. Sadly, she recently passed away from a stroke, leaving behind four young children who are now without their mother and facing a future filled with uncertainty and loss.

Melissa’s story is heartbreaking. Just two years ago, she lost her eldest son unexpectedly—a tragedy that left her devastated. Though grief hung heavy, she never let it define her. She kept smiling. She kept helping. She kept dreaming of a better life for her family.

Earlier this year, Melissa suffered her first stroke. Life became more difficult, especially as her health declined and her youngest children and only daughter were placed in foster care. Her depression deepened, but one thought kept her going: she was grateful they were all together under one roof, even if only temporarily. She longed for the day they would be reunited and live as a family again. We often sat and made plans for that day—plans she held onto with hope and determination. Now those plans are gone, and her children are left to pick up the pieces.

Melissa didn’t have much money. She spent what little she had on simply surviving. She was a giver, not a taker. Her dreams were not for herself—they were for her children. And now, those children are left without her love, her strength, and her guidance.

We are asking for donations to help with Melissa’s burial and, more importantly, to support her children who are now navigating a painful and uncertain road. Every contribution goes directly to them, to help with basic necessities and hopefully offer a glimmer of hope as they begin to heal.

Please, if you can find it in your heart to help, donate to https://www.paypal.me/WendyCapuano

Your kindness will go a long way in making sure Melissa’s beautiful spirit lives on in the care and comfort we give to her children.

Wife passed away after brutal battle withcancer. Help with the burial and raising my 2 small children.

My wife was diagnosed last June(2024) with  stage 4 cervical cancer at the age of 30….this last year was devastating on my family with the treatments, surgeries and the toll ot took on my wifes appearance and financially it hit us harder then I realized. My wife passed away at 31. Just 3 weeks shy of her 1 year diagnosis mark. We have a 7yr old and 9 yr old. I had a forbearance on our mortgage during the time of her treatments, thats up now because its been a year. We didnt get life insurance b/c we were young and didnt think this could “happen to us”. So im stuck 12 months worth of mortgage payments behind. I am a veteran, so the mortgage company worked with me alittle and got my payments down from $1900.00 to $1300.00. But I was on fmla with pay the first 3 months but the past . Months without pay. I cant even afford to have a proper ceremony to say goodbye to the love of my life and my kids might not get the chance to say goodbye to their wonderful mother. I really am worried they are going to remember her how she was this past year instead of how great things were before her diagnosis.  Im not asking for any particular amount. Anything would be appreciated so much! Thank you for hearing my story and God bless!!

My cashapp email is Newchiefsfan22 they told me to put on here the paypal.me link but im not sure i can figure it out…so i think this is it. Well its my wifes paypal as i didnt have one setup. . That name is @ritalaman420

Thank you again

Help a single mother fund for her late father’s headstone

Good morning/afternoon/evening to you all,

 

My name is Hazik. I am 33years of age and a single mother to five beautiful children raging from the age of 12years – 16years. I am also a sole carer for my elderly parents (my late father was 83 when he passed and my mother is currently 78years old). I work a full-time job, working between 40-70 hours per week.

 

I have been the sole carer for my parents since I was 18years old and still am to this very day. I have been a single mother since the day 5 months into my pregnancy to my twins (12years old now). 2 of my 5 children are my biological children (identical twin girls) and the other 3 are my adopted children since 2019 (ages 13 – 16).

 

My father passed away late last year (2024), so I am currently continuing the care for my elderly mother. My children designed a headstone for my parents (their nana and papa). I have taken this design around to local headstone businesses for quotation and have found the cheapest quote at $30,000.00 (30k). This is the cost for a double headstone for my parents as they will be laid side by side when my mother’s time comes.

 

I am seeking your help with funding this headstone for my father (and mother) as I am not able to save that much money in a short period of time before the unveiling date. My weekly pay is barely enough to make ends meet due to the high cost of living now. I have tried applying for a Credit Card and a Personal Loan to cover this cost but unfortunately was unsuccessful as I had already taken out a loan last year (currently still paying it off) for my dad’s funeral and expenses.

My father’s unveiling is set for September 2025. Any amount of help would greatly be appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to read my story. May God bless you all 10 times fold for anything you are able to sacrifice to help bring my children’s vision of their grandparents headstone to life.

 

Yours Sincerely,

Hazik P

Grandpa Just Passed – Help Me Get Home

Hello, I’m a 29-year-old woman grieving the recent loss of my beloved grandfather, who passed away at the age of 90 due to illness.

Growing up, I didn’t have the opportunity to live near my grandparents. My parents fled Rwanda due to war and raised me in West Africa. At age 19, I moved to Kenya to pursue my university studies—and it was during this time that I was finally able to travel to Rwanda and meet my extended family. I was 20 when I met my grandfather for the first time. It was love at first sight. He welcomed me with warmth, and we formed a bond I will always cherish.

Earlier this year, I was able to visit my mother and siblings in West Africa after seven years away (first in Kenya, then in the U.S.). That trip was made during an unpaid leave of absence, as I had to be with my family after my father passed away in December 2023.

Shortly after returning to the U.S., I began receiving heartbreaking updates about my grandfather’s declining health. He had been diagnosed with prostate cancer. In his final days, he could no longer eat or drink and lost a significant amount of weight. It was incredibly painful to witness his suffering from afar. He passed away peacefully last Sunday morning.

I long to return to Rwanda this June to be with my grandmother and support my family as we honor his memory together. Unfortunately, after taking unpaid leave recently, I cannot afford the trip. A round-trip flight is estimated at $1,400–$2,000, and I am budgeting a total of $3,000–$5,000 for travel and related expenses.

If you feel moved to support this journey of love, healing, and remembrance, I would deeply appreciate your generosity. Donations can be made through this link:
👉 https://paypal.me/safariyes?country.x=US&locale.x=en_US

Thank you so much for reading my story. Every contribution, big or small, means the world to me.

Tragic loss of my Grandfather on my wedding day

On August 10th, 2024, my grandfather who was a fit and healthy 63-year-old was devastatingly hit with a stroke, this happened during our family reunion which happens every year. As a family we were all sharing stories and showing gratitude for our family staying together despite all the struggles over the years.

Grandfather who always had something to say and would give the most bellyful laugh during our reunions was unexpectedly silent, one moment we saw him standing and in the next few seconds we saw him lose his balance and fall over almost hitting his head we all rushed over to check on him and that’s when we tried asking him if he was okay due to the heightened emotions of the situation it was not noticed at the time that half of his face was drooping but was immediately apparent was that he wasn’t able to talk.

We called the ambulance, and he was rushed off to the hospital where his checks were done, and they updated us that he had a severe stroke. As a family we banded together to be a support system to our grandfather and ensure he gets his medical bills paid and makes a speedy recovery or so we hoped… After some time, the hospital allowed us to take him and instructed that he will be requiring physiotherapy, and regular check-ups at the hospital. About a week after having him back in his home we were very supportive and ensured he attended all his physiotherapy sessions as a means of staying positive and providing hope that he would one day be back to normal and he able to walk, talk and have his freedom back.

Over time it was clear that the stroke started to affect more than his mobility, speech and cognitive ability. He started to become very depressed, just take a moment to consider being a classic man who was very hardworking, name almost any hands on profession and he had done it, my grandfather was an excellent tailor, drove taxi at nights to make extra to feed and look after his children and wife, he used the land he had to farm and raise livestock he was determined to do what was necessary to provide for his family. Not only that, he was very kind and well respected person in his community, if someone needed help or temporary accommodation he would find a way to support them along with my grandmother they were a power couple one with the will to overcome all obstacles to provide for family and his wife with a heart of gold willing to give away her last in order to help someone in need. After the stroke he became a shell of himself unable to complete simple things like eating food, hold a cup, having a conversation even his signature belly laugh he was no longer able to despite following all the medical advice and ensuring he had regular check-ups and physiotherapy he wasn’t getting any better and no sign of him recovering anytime soon.

He was my Grandfather but he and my fiancé at the time soon to be husband, became very close my husband would sit with him trying to have conversations, assist him with his mobility and personal care, in that time they became very close and he decided we should continue to do our best to support grandfather’s recovery and also to ease the burden off the rest financial  we took full control of his medical treatment of over $30,000.

My husband and I paid for his medical bills and physiotherapy each month meanwhile saving for our wedding that was booked for 19th of March 2025 and despite doing both was a extreme struggle we felt we had a duty to get Grandfather to make a full recovery. For a moment picture a beautiful sunny day by the seaside it was our wedding day, and everyone was getting ready for our big day. Things were not going according to plan on our day, but we still focused on us becoming on in marriage and having all our family there to witness our union it was a very special moment. We did our dance entrance into the reception hall music and laughter was filling the room we danced together as officially husband and wife then sat down to overlook all our guests and family members. Due to the busyness of the day this was the first time we had a moment to admire and look at who attended but I noticed I couldn’t see my Grandfather at all he wasn’t at the tables and he wasn’t in his wheelchair outside so trying my best not to worry or think negatively I turned to my husband and leaned on his shoulder he asked if I was okay, I replied

“I don’t know why I feel so uneasy even though we just had such a special moment and one of the greatest days in my life.”

It wasn’t long afterwards a close friend of the family came to our table and whispered in my ears that they had received really bad news. As this was our special day I didn’t want to hear any bad news so I requested that they would tell me later; another minute passed and I looked around started to see my grandmother, mother and aunt all burst into tears so I rush over to see what was wrong and it was then I was informed that my Grandfather had passed way. The shock hit me so hard that I was hit with a panic attack for the first time in my life, my chest became extremely tight, and I felt like I couldn’t breathe and was gasping for air it was my husband that had to snap me out of it with his embrace and words.

Ultimately, my family and I are still devastated to lose our Beloved Grandfather so suddenly in a time that was supposed to be special… the situation we were in was just about scraping by to make our wedding possible and still looking after Grandfather while he was here all his treatments and medical bills, now we are in a serious dilemma not knowing how we will afford to his funeral expenses. We have no savings left and we are reaching out for help…

This was very difficult decision to make and our last resort as we as people do not like to ask for help even when we need it, even if it means suffering but I am choosing to come and boldly ask if anyone can reach out to us and help to pay for my Grandfather’s funeral even if its only $1 any help will be greatly appreciated from the bottom of our hearts we sincerely need the financial help.

We have contacted many funeral homes and prices for the lowest packages start from $7000 all the way up to $14000, currently we can’t even afford the lowest priced packages and even with everyone trying to put together with the cost of living now its really hard to even save 500 dollars a month, hence why we are seeking help, I will attach my PayPal link below for anyone who wants to help. We appreciate your time, and consideration may God bless you all.

A Headstone for my Angel

I lost my sweet,beautiful son three years ago, this month, He was taken from us by a young boy whom he had taken under his wing, as he did so many kids in our neighborhood. He was found in his car ,less than a block from our home, by his (14 months younger) brother and his (6 year elder) sister. Our family was shattered and, to be honest, I still can’t tell you how we survived loosing him but miraculously,  we are still here. Victim’s compensation and my job, at the time, paid for his services in full but to say that our family has struggled financially from the emotional toll would be an understatement.his siblings managed to go back to work and continue living but I have never been back to work and I don’t get out of the house much but on occasion I will venture out, down the street to visit my sweet boy. But it breaks my heart because he is the only grave without a headstone because neither party covered that and I  just haven’t been able to acquire (roughly) $2000.00 at one time to get him one.

I have always felt heavy hearted anytime I was at a cemetery and came upon an unmarked grave. It felt like whomever it was had just been abandoned and the world had forgotten that they were ever here. I am humbled now because that couldn’t be any farther from the truth.

I am not prideful when it comes to my family. I see the pain in my children’s eyes when we go see their brother because they know that I know he deserves a headstone but they never say a word. Please,help me give my sweet ,beautiful baby the proper marker that his brother and sister and nieces and nephews can be proud of.

He gave myself and everyone around him so,so much. Please help me give my baby one final gift. Consider this my application to the Angel Tree.

Thank you so much, in advance

Support our Family for Dominique’s Funeral

Hello everyone,

My name is Romain, and I am the son of Dominique. It is with immense sadness that I share the news of his passing after a long and courageous battle with cancer. Despite all the difficulties, he never stopped fighting, showing incredible resilience and strength until the very end. His departure leaves an immeasurable void in our lives, and the grief we feel is beyond words.

Dominique was more than just a father to me—he was my role model, my guide, and my greatest supporter. He was a man of values, kindness, and generosity, always putting the needs of others before his own. Whether it was a friend in need, a family member going through a tough time, or even a stranger who needed a helping hand, he never hesitated to offer his support. His warmth, wisdom, and love touched so many people, and we want to honor his memory in a way that reflects the incredible person he was.

As we navigate this difficult time, we are faced with the unexpected financial burden of funeral expenses. Organizing a proper farewell comes with significant costs, and unfortunately, we are struggling to cover them on our own. This is why we are reaching out today to ask for your help in raising €5,000 to finance his funeral and related expenses. This will allow us to give him the dignified goodbye he deserves and create a space where his loved ones can gather, share memories, and celebrate his life.

We understand that times are difficult for many, and any contribution, no matter how small, will be deeply appreciated. Every donation brings us closer to our goal and helps us honor my father’s legacy with the respect and love he so greatly deserved. If you are unable to contribute financially, simply sharing this fundraiser with others would already be a huge help. Spreading the word can make a difference and allow us to reach people who may want to support our family during this time.

Grief is an incredibly heavy burden, but the love and kindness of those around us provide strength and comfort. Knowing that so many people care and want to help makes this painful journey a little more bearable. We are endlessly grateful for every message, every thought, and every act of generosity.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your support during this incredibly difficult moment. Your kindness means more to us than words can express.

With love and gratitude,

Romain & Family

Asking for Help in an Unimaginable Time

This was the last thing I ever thought I’d have to write as I’m a proud guy and like to do everything myself and sort out any problems and issues myself but my heart is heavy, and I have no choice but to ask for help.

 

On the 24th of January, my brother-in-law tragically lost his life in a completely preventable accident. The company he worked for sent him onto the roof of a building without any safety equipment, and he fell to his death. Now, my sister is not only grieving the love of her life, but she is also facing a financial burden that neither of us were prepared for.

 

They had only been married for five short years—years that should have been the start of a lifetime together. This wasn’t something she could have ever planned for, and now, on top of her heartbreak, she is struggling with the cost of giving him the funeral he deserves. The total cost is coming to £13,000, and despite giving my sister everything I can spare, it’s simply not enough. I have been desperately searching for a second job to help, but I haven’t been able to find anything that fits around my current work schedule.

 

To make things even harder, the police have launched a manslaughter investigation, which means my sister cannot even begin to find closure. The weight of grief and financial stress is overwhelming her, and I just want to take at least one of those burdens away from her.

 

If anyone can help, even in the smallest way, it would mean the world to us. I know times are tough for many, and not everyone will be able to contribute but even just offering kind words would be deeply appreciated.

 

Thank you for taking the time to read this. I know not everyone can help, and maybe no one can, but kindness and compassion cost nothing. So from the bottom of my heart, thank you.
