Help Elton's Family Survive This Tragedy

Hello, I'm John Dowd. On 2/21/2003, Sharan Dalton & I became proud parents to a beautiful young daughter, Siobhan Erin Dalton Dowd. During High School, Siobhan transitioned gender identities to become Elton Sebastion Dowd, making it legally official too. Elton's transition years were filled with great friends, much family support, and many moments of joy and love, but also a darker internal turmoil that haunted Elton. Elton's sudden passing, on 2/20/2023 has brought much grief to all who loved him, and also many unexpected expenses to his immediate family.

I ask that you please donate here, to help the family defer the costs of so many things related to Elton's unexpected passing. These include, but are not limited to: final funeral home expenses, costs for urns, transporting the remains back home to Massachusetts, Elton's unpaid bills & accumulated debt., and some planned "Celebration of Life" events (paternal side, maternal side, and one for his beloved housemates & friends), and whatever other unexpected expenses arise from this awful event.

I thank you for reading my post and do hope you can contribute to this cause.
