A little help please Posted by p4jkafla - Apr 2, 2015 - 7:20am |
Hey everyone, I know it's been a while. Anyhoo... My younger brother Peter died on Sunday morning from liver and kidney failure. He was a chronic alcoholic. His wife died five years ago from the same thing. Peter was a great guy, and a really good dad. He just couldn't overcome the drink. He left two daughters behind, both in high school. We're trying to sort out what we can do for them, and we could use a little help. My older brother set up a Go fund me page to see if we can raise some money for them so they can stay in their place a little longer and finish their high school in the same place. Cassie and Hannah are tremendous people; incredibly accomplished students and self sufficient but this is just over their heads. http://www.gofundme.com/cassiehannah If you could donate, or share the link, it would be really appreciated. Makenna Edit: As of 4/16 we've raised over $22,000 for the girls. I cannot believe it. Here is a link to a news article they were featured in as well as a video done by the local nbc affiliate. http://www.utsandiego.com/news/2015/apr/09/twice-orphaned-sisters-still-have-each-ther/ and http://www.nbcsandiego.com/news/local/Community-Rallies-to-Support-Orphaned-San-Marcos-Sisters-299416091.html |
