My name is Bridget, I’m from Windsor Mill, Maryland, and I am in need of your assistance. My Dad suddenly passed away last week on May 19th in Tennessee. Long story short , I am the ‘outside’ child, yet the oldest child. My dad’s wife and kids from that side of the family made the decision to have his services held within 3 days of telling me, therefore preventing me ample time to travel, preventing me, my spouse, and my children from attending my dad’s funeral within 5 days of his passing! They have not communicated any further arrangements in regard to his burial with honors either, so I am left out of that as well. He will be getting buried the following week after service. I was extremely close to my Daddy and in NO WAY would he not had wanted he present at his homegoing! Also, I had his only grandchildren whom he was close to as well.
Unfortunately, I have now been put in a horrible position to attempt to raise funds to host a memorial to celebrate his life, legacy, and love—solely from me to honor the greatness that he was in my, my husband’s, and my children’s lives. I was robbed of the opportunity to close this chapter of my life for one that I loved and cherished so dearly! I cannot believe that I am ever doing something like this, but the position that I am in leaves me no other choice but to ask for assistance as I am like 5 states away than my dad was and being iced out by that family! I would love to honor him along with a lot of his siblings who also were left without the ability to honor him in their regard as well! I honestly just really need any assistance you could provide. Anything that you guys could donate would be a tremendous help!
Outside of assistance with the memorial, the additional funds would go towards assistance with legal issues involving entitlement to me and my children’s inheritance. The funds would go towards a memorial event and retainer for probate attorney fees.
