Air Force Veteran Memorial

Hi my name is Trina and I am reaching out to the community to see if anyone can help with expenses surrounding my father's Memorial. I live in Wisconsin and need to travel back home to Seattle. My father was a member of the United States Air Force marching band. With honorable discharge he spent the rest of his life helping other people and teaching music. He himself played over 15 instruments and loved teaching just as much he did performing. He was the life of the party as well as the peace keeper wherever he went. Eventually homeless, he still continued to teach music and I became aware of his hospitalization only after he missed a music lesson he had arranged.

He had a major stroke a few weeks ago and passed away last week. Unable to communicate with my sister and I, there has been a long list of things that financially we have to handle quite unexpectedly.

I just started a new job and spent all my paid time off visiting him before he passed. Currently I am seeking any donations to offset the cost of travel (flights+hotel+car) for myself and my daughter who is 6, money to cover his storage unit fees until my sister can be assigned by the courts as administrator of his estate, costs associated with certified copies of his death certificate, replacement titles for his vehicles and transfer of ownership which we plan to sell or donate as they are non-running, and cremation services. Anything is appreciated as we have no access to his funds which will probably all go toward his medical care. He never cared about money and would give the shirt off his back if you needed it. I always struggled to get him gifts because I knew he would give anything he had to others in need first.

Thank you for your support.
