Help Ease Isaias' Fagundes Family's Burden

Hello, my name is Stephanie Fagundes and my father is currently in hospice at MGH. Last year, he was diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer and was going through hormone therapy, which eventually stopped working. Isaias started chemotherapy and radiation a few months ago but as of last week decided to stop those treatments. He was in agonizing pain and decided to prioritize pain management until the end comes.

His children; Stephanie Fagundes and Jennifer Fagundes request assistance in paying for his funeral. It has been an impossible task planning a funeral for someone who hasn't passed yet but we are trying to get ahead of this because once he passes we will be incapacitated with grief. He was not an easy father but we know he loved us in his own way. Amaro, his husband, is absolutely devastated and sleeping at the hospital every night beside him. We ask that you contribute anything you can. The costs amounted to about $10,000.

-UPDATE 5/7/2024-

Isaias Fagundes passed away around 5pm on May 7th in the presence of Stephanie Fagundes and Amaro Fagundes. We were petting him and telling him things will be alright. Once he exhaled his last breath, we both said goodbye and gave in to our pain. We are grateful for the support we have received so far and are touched by the kind words said to us.

It is our hope we make at least half of our goal to help our family with funeral expenses.
