Help cover funeral costs for Gilbert Surita
Donation protected
Hello, my name is Cynthia Surita, the man pictured is Gilbert Surita, my dad. Today, my siblings (Eddie, Melissa, Gilbert, Brandon, Anthony, and Margarita) and I had to say one of many goodbyes to him. He was one of a kind. Anyone who knew him was a friend. He was giving, so so very generous and gave love like no one I've ever met. He was one of those people who showed up when you needed him without hesitation. He was loyal, to his family and friends and even to his beloved Jet's who just couldn't hack it. He never gave up on you, way after you may have already given up on yourself. It was just the kind of man he was. There was no one like him in this world, and the outpouring of love my family and I have received from people we hardly knew, was a testament to that. My dad leaves behind a beautiful and caring wife, he so carefully chose to mother my younger siblings Anthony and Margarita. Both of which now are without a provider. My sister Margarita has Down Syndrome and is epileptic, she requires special attention and medication. My dad did not leave behind an insurance policy and we are raising money to cover funeral costs. My dad deserves a proper goodbye and I really want to give it to him. I also want to add a bit of assistance for my younger siblings and my step mother because they need all the support they can get. No amount of money could ever heal the pain we feel in his absence, but any little bit of it counts to alleviate the financial burden placed on his wife to care for her children. If you can help thank you, if you can't, pray for us and our strength, and thank you anyway.
