My family

Hello everyone,

As many of you have heard we lost a father a brother an uncle a grandpa a great grandpa and to some a great friend. My grandpa was a very strong believer in God who attended church every Sunday. He loved to sing and play his guitar. He was always praying for protection for his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. He had such a big heart and we all miss him dearly.

It’s so hard for me to put into words how our family feels. My baby brother is currently spending time away from us to get the help he needs. For those of you who don’t know the pain of mental illness it is an emotional & painful process. It’s tiring and hard. Mental illness is real and also terrifying because you feel like you’ve lost control of your own mind and nothing makes sense. It’s like watching yourself on autopilot and having little to no control. You can live well with a mental condition as long as you open up and find the resources you need to cope with it. It is so hard for my family and I to put into words how we are so lost and broken.

With that being said I would like to start a go fund me for our grandfathers funeral costs and also for the resources we will need to get my brother the help he needs to over come his mental illness and to better his future. We are hurting and hope to get the support from our friends and family during this time of grief.

Any amount of donation you feel to give please. There is also a couple different ways you could pay: Cash, Check, Apple Pay & Venmo. Deposits can be made to Sauk Valley Bank as well. If you have any questions please feel free to message me privately.

If our community can come together, we ask for all the prayers we can get. We have a long road ahead of us.

Thank you so much. ♥️
