Ernest Lankford (Pete)

Peace! Friends, Family, and Compassionate Strangers,

I am Danielle and I hope this message finds you in good health. I am writing to you today with a heavy heart. My beloved brother Ernest Lankford, a cherished member of our family, has tragically passed away on October 12, due to senseless act of violence in Ithaca NY. As you can imagine, this devastating loss has left our family in an unimaginable state of grief and despair. He left behind 4 children 3 of which are under the age of 10. Our primary concern now is to bring his body home so that we can give him the proper farewell and closure he deserves. This process is not only emotionally challenging but also financially burdensome.

I am reaching out to you today, seeking your help in raising the necessary funds to retrieve his remains and cover funeral expenses. I understand that these are tough times for everyone, but we are genuinely in need of your support.

To contribute to this cause and help us bring my brother home, we have set up a GoFundMe campaign. Your donation, no matter how big or small, will make a significant difference. Every dollar counts and will bring us closer to our goal. Your kindness and generosity will help us navigate through this difficult period.

We are deeply grateful for your compassion and any support during this incredibly challenging time.
