Donate to Support the Atkins family in their loss

Hi, my name is Rebecca Travisano. I am organizing this fundraiser in support of my uncle, William Atkins who suddenly and unexpectedly lost his wife, my aunt, Beth Atkins this week on June 26th. Devastatingly and unexpectedly, Beth passed away from a fast acting and vicious cancer that took her away from her family way too soon. Leaving behind her husband William.

My Aunt and Uncle have been through so much over the last few months, with the recent physical challenges my Uncle Billy is facing due to the loss of his leg. Having to undergo these challenges and learn to navigate this new chapter in his life has left him in need of support, and that is where my aunt has played an especially vital role in taking amazing care of him and helped him relearn what seems like simple everyday tasks, of which so many of us take for granted in our lives. My Uncle has made great strides in his progress due to my aunt’s unwavering commitment. But now there is an enormous void in his life with the loss of his beloved wife Beth.

This loss is not just devastating to him but to our entire family. She was an amazing, supportive, kind, generous, loving, funny, wonderful, and beautiful person inside and out. She was a loving Wife, Sister, Aunt, Godmother, and friend, and she will be missed more than I can express.

My Uncle Billy is an amazing and inspirational person, and I am so proud of him and his strength, but I am especially proud of him for being a US Navy Veteran.

With the loss of my aunt and his physical limitations, it has prevented my uncle from having a steady income. I would like to please ask for any donations from the kindness of your hearts to help cover the cost of funeral expenses, as well as help support my Uncle Billy navigate during this difficult time in addition to everyday living expenses.
