Support Ava her Family in the loss of their Papa
Donation protected
Hi everyone. My name is Ava, and in the photo are my two younger sisters Kassidy and Kiley Jo, and my papa Joe. Yesterday my grandpa passed away suddenly, but peacefully in our home. He leaves behind a daughter, 5 grandkids total and 2 great grandchildren, and all three of us. My sisters and I lost my dad in 2019, then my mom in 2022, and now my papa in 2025. We’ve lived with my grandpa our entire lives and he’s been able to keep all 3 of us together through losing both of my parents, by becoming our legal guardian. My grandpas house is the place we’ve always come home to, and he’s always been there for us, so his passing is devastating and life changing. We wish to hold a funeral service soon and will update when a service has been scheduled, so i’m asking for some help for the funeral and to keep us together worry free. My sisters are still in high school and I just started college, and I provide for us and play the parent role. As always, my family and I appreciate everyone’s kind words and support, and we are so grateful to have one another.
