To Dad’s Family and Friends,

There truly aren’t enough words to describe how grateful I am for the love and support you have shown my father and our family during this incredibly difficult time.

Many of you have reached out asking how you can help, including offering to send or drop off money. That outpouring of generosity speaks volumes about the kind of people my dad has in his life, and it has deeply touched both my mom and me.

While neither of us are people who feel comfortable asking for or accepting financial help, so many of you have insisted on wanting to support my parents in any way possible. Please know how much that means to us—it is impossible to fully put into words.

After a great deal of thought, I decided to set up this page so that those who wish to help my parents have an easy and direct way to do so. Please understand that while this is a fundraiser site, we are not asking for money. This was created solely out of respect and gratitude for those who have expressed a strong desire to help.

All funds from this site go directly to my parents’ bank account so they can use them however they may need.

As an alternative, I have also set up a Venmo account for them. Most fundraising platforms charge transaction fees (typically around 3%), whereas Venmo allows them to receive the full amount without fees.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart. My family and I are forever grateful for the love, kindness, and support you have shown us. Those who know us well know that we rarely ask for help and always believe in returning kindness whenever we can. Please know that if you ever need anything in the future, or if there is ever a way I can support you as you have supported my parents, I hope you would never hesitate to reach out.

With so much love and gratitude,
