My Fiance Mike Lofato died unexpectedly at the end of April as a result of an accident, but not after spending five excruciating weeks in ICU while his unseen internal injuries kept multiplying and shutting his body down.

Without his input, I cannot afford our bills and am seeking a second job, but I am 60 years old. I will try to sell our house and his truck but need to make the payments in the meantime and have exhausted our saving already for his funeral and some medical costs. He contributed $2500  a month to bills and I am trying to raise one year of his input so I can get a foothold and pay off the bills and have moving expenses to a cheaper place to live.

Mike was an amazing individual who was positive and loving despite having dealt with pain nearly all his life. He worked from aged 13 to help support his single mom and little sisters and worked hard all his life ending with early retirement from General Motors on disability from having a liver transplant and then having significant back surgery from being hit my a piece of machinery. He was younger and didn’t have the chance to build up any retirement savings or pension.

Because of PSC, a liver disease that caused his transplant, Mike was unable to qualify for life insurance.

We had just moved to Alabama, so there is no equity in our house and we both had loans on vehicles that we hoped to payoff and keep into our retirement.

I have no family and Mike’s parents are in their late 80s, with his dad fighting cancer and his mom recently having a stroke. I am trying also to arrange a family ceremony in Florida so his parents can attend his funeral. I am still even trying to pay to get his obituary published.

We were not dirt poor but we were not rich people. Hard working blue collar people who just got by. He was the light of my life and now I face a very dark future both personally and financially.

Please help. 🙏

There was someone knocking on her front door Sunday, the 5th of May. Two sheriff’s and a young woman to tell my daughter her dad was deceased. He was found behind a liquor store that Sunday morning, fentanyl overdose. Her worst fear became a reality. Her dad had become a homeless addict. For the past 6 years he was in and out of rehab programs fighting for his sobriety and a relationship with his daughter, but there was relapse after relapse and more distance from his daughter. She loved her dad so much and wanted him whole again. She wanted and needed her daddy. She is a college student studying to become a therapist for addiction and mental health issues. She wants to open a facility one day to help save this demographic of people. The majority of his family and all but one friend gave up on him long time ago, shes his only next of kin and is now faced with putting’him to rest properly. She was unable to celebrate his life when he was alive so she wants to celebrate his death. I am asking for $8,000 so she is able to do this, she’s in college and has no resources to help with this expense. Please help my little girl put her dad to rest so she can finally heal with a loving goodbye.

Respectfully requesting donations for my Mama funeral services. I need flowers, food and ,water, and juice for the Repass, whatever else I need for the funeral home additional money to open up the grave. I need approximately $15,500 dollars. Her funeral is in New York so it gets a little expensive. Anything you donate will be greatly appreciated thank you in advance. When her oldest son baby passed away she gave up her grave for the baby. Mama Helen, was an awesome human being that would do anything for her children, her grand children and her adopted children. Every body loved her. All the children in the neighborhood all the family and community. Thank you and God bless you for your support. Thank you in advance.

Sincerely,

Marlo Aydelott

My wife and I had a wonderful life together.  We both had careers we enjoyed and looked forward to retirement.  Retiring in 2016 we decided to travel, living in a camper, to see our great country while we had the health to do it.  In 2019 we both decided to supplement our income, entering back into the work force.  Things were economically becoming more difficult and then there was Covid.

Cancer had plagued my wife her entire life in one form or another.  Breast cancer twice, lung cancer, losing her right lung, cancer in her reproductive organs leading to a hysterectomy, and finally multiple myeloma.

In December of 2023 my wife developed a severe pain in the thigh of her right leg.  We assumed it was sciatica, but the pain continued to get worse.  She went to a doctor who tried to treat her for the pain, but it continued to worsen.  The doctor recommended a pet scan and that is when it was discovered that she had cancer again, multiple myeloma.  A large mass attached to the back of the rib cage on the right side and another mass attached to the back of her right thigh bone.  The mass on her thigh bone was extremely painful.  Radiation on the leg was started in February of 2024.  In mid-January my wife had lost her appetite because she would feel ill and often got sick after eating and she would not consume enough fluids. On the morning of February 13^th, she was admitted to the hospital with complications of pneumonia and sepsis and in the afternoon of February 14^th my wife passed away.

Losing a spouse is one of life’s most profound and emotionally challenging experiences. Amidst the grief and heartache, I was confronted with practical realities, including financial hardship. The death of my spouse has had significant financial implications, affecting everything from daily expenses to long-term financial security. Coping with these challenges is far more difficult than I had imagined.

One of the immediate financial impacts of losing a spouse is the loss of their income. For many families, especially those reliant on dual incomes, this sudden reduction can be devastating. It leads to difficulties in meeting basic needs such as mortgage or rent payments, utility bills, and groceries and at this time of year, paying taxes.

In addition to the immediate loss of income, I also faced unexpected expenses related to the death and funeral arrangements. We grossly underestimated adequate savings or insurance coverage, these expenses can quickly add up, further straining the finances. Medical bills were also incurred during my wife’s illness.

My wife and I had been living on our combined social security and we both worked as sub-contractors in the security guard industry.  With the loss of her side of the income I went back to work as soon as possible to try and meet the ongoing financial obligations and the financial obligations of my wife’s passing.

I am not asking for so much that I would be financially independent, I just need a little help to get through this unexpected financial burden.

In closing I would say, if you have loved ones let them know how much you love them.  And if losing them would impact you negatively financially, reevaluate your end-of-life plans.

To all of you who have taken the time to read this, thank you and have a blessed day.

In memory of my loving wife born October 29, 1951, died February 14, 2024.

Hello Everyone,

I’m reaching out in a time of dire need. My mother, Alice McBride, passed away on November 12, 2023, without insurance, leaving me with the overwhelming burden of funeral expenses.

I dedicated myself to caring for her while she was in hospice and had to downsize to a one-bedroom apartment afterward. Currently, I’m juggling three jobs: security at night, substitute teaching during the day, and dual-enrollment classes for two high schools. Yes, I am physically exhausted.

Despite my efforts, I’m drowning in financial obligations. I’ve fallen behind on rent, and my car is on the brink of repossession. I have $29,000 in credit card debt and $115,000 in student loans, both past due.

Above all, I need to settle my mother’s mortuary bill and fulfill her wish to be laid to rest beside her grandmother in our family plot in Alabama. The remaining amount needed to settle her bill is $1,600, and to send her home and to have her remains put away properly with a headstone would likely be around another $5,000. This act would provide closure for us all.

I created a GoFundMe account, and out of the 22 people who contributed, we were only able to raise $2,700 out of the original $4,300 goal.

Your assistance, however small, would be a beacon of hope in my darkest hour. Your generosity would not only alleviate my financial strain but also allow me to honor my mother’s legacy. I’m open to any form of support you can provide.

Thank you for considering my plea for help. Should you need more information or wish to discuss this further, please feel free to reach out.

Hello,

I am here because this last year has been a tornado of loss and pain and I would be beyond grateful for the support to rebuild my world. The year started with my father loosing his 30 + year business, my parents being kicked out of there house, my dad breaking his hip, me having to move and relocate, me also getting injured.. and once I thought there was a moment to rest I had to put my dog down and my mother suddenly pass over the holidays.. my heart is broken. The loss of my beloved mom and pet has been devastating emotionally to say the least. Having to deal with everyday life feels so challenging rite now.  Still having to work and do all of the things..The cost of the funeral and the time and energy I am having to dedicate to going through all of her belongings  is so heavy.

I don’t want to just rant about everything that is on my plate because I am doing my best to stay positive, however, I do need help with all of these hardships:

Going to the dentist for an implant and cavities

Grief therapy

Debt/ funeral costs

It sounds insane but I need upwards of $35k to get my life back on track. Although anything will help. My deepest gratitude in advance for your time and generosity.

My name is Ashley, January 5th my world took a turn into the new year I didn’t expect. I’ve been living  with a family friend now for a couple years. She graciously allowed me and my children to stay with her as I got back on my feet all  while fleeing a toxic relationship. On January 5th I found myself awaken in the middle of the night to her suffering an asthma attack that led to a heart attack. It hurts to even type this. I’ve known her my whole life..and just knowing how selfless she is and what she has done for me knowing I have been absent from the love of a mother, I could never repay. Right now she is resuscitated by a machine keeping her alive and breathing…but I know it is not in her wishes. I am humbly asking for help to prepare for what the future holds for her. Her being a senior citizen, I was told by doctors she won’t recover from this. She did not have anything set up financially for something like this. I am asking for help in the amount of 15,000. To help with her cost for funeral expense, and any bills she may have left. She has little family as she is 1 of 2 surviving children in her immediate family and to me she is my Family like a mother and grandmother to my children. I would not want to stand silently knowing she is in need of help. Thank you for your time in reading this! Every amount will go directly to her needs. Hoping for the best but God has it in his hands. Thank you.

My name is Don, I’m 62 yrs old and live on a disability income.

My mom passed away July 3rd of this year. She was in a nursing facility under Medicaid. Anyone who knows how this works can verify what I say. They sold her home, cashed out all her life insurance policies to help pay for her care. When she passed I maxed 2 credit cards to pay for her funeral. And the part that is breaking my heart is there is no money left to get her a grave marker. I have $6,000 in Credit card debit and the grave marker is going to be another $4,000.00

I will manage the credit cards but I desperately need help with the grave marker

God bless anyone who can help.

I have an amazing friend who I have had the pleasure of being friend’s with for over 50 years.  I just recently found out that her husband of over 30 years just recently passed away due to health complications in the hospital.  He was an amazing husband, father, son, and grandpa.  Over 6 years ago, he was told that he needed a new kidney and they were not able to come up with the money to help him through everything and finally dialysis took its toll on his health.  My friend is an Educational Assistant working with little students (PreK), helps raise her grandchildren, took care of her husband and did everything possible when she had little time.  She is currently struggling right now with bills, trying to find an attorney to help her settle her husbands affairs because she does not have all the legal paperwork needed, have a Celebration of Life Service for him and yet take care of all the funeral services on her little money she makes through the school district.  I would like to help ease some of her stress by financially helping her.  I worry that she will end up having a heart attack or something and her family then having to struggle.  I’m praying that I will be able to raise $7000 and she will be able to do what she needs to help with her husband’s unexpected death.  I know if I were going through this same situation, she would do the same for me.  Please help, any amount will help.  Thank you for taking the time to donate and help a friend of mine in need.  You can donate the money to

Hello I am now left alone to pick up the broken pieces of my 5 year old heart. Her best friend her daddy left this world on November 4th 2023 unexpectedly. He was as well my best friend we spent 7 years building memories for me to now be forever broken. Christopher doesn’t have a headstone and we need to know where he lays as we visit him everyday. The homemade cross I made and placed next to him just isn’t good enough. His funeral took all we had. The one and only wish my daughter and I have for Christmas is for him to be complete. You may google his name to pull up his obituary. Christopher Muniz Arbuckle Ca. Help our wish come true. Paypal.me/MoniqueWynant
