Help Joshua Fulfill His Dad's Last Wishes

Donation protected
Hey everybody, my name is Joshua Fleming. Normally, pride would keep me from doing this, but I desperately need y'all's help, please. My dad, James Fleming, was a great man who was diagnosed with congestive heart failure back in 2016. Shortly after that, he lost his business cleaning and repairing swimming pools due to not being able to work anymore because he just couldn't do physical labor like that anymore.

A year after that, just before Harvey hit, he was forced to move from Houston (his home of 56 years) up to Albuquerque, New Mexico, to stay with my Grandma. Unknowingly to me, that would be the last time I would ever see him again. About 2 months ago, I got a message from my sister saying that our dad had just gone into respiratory failure and that he was gonna die soon. Those last weeks were so hard for me. I tried to prepare myself for this for so many years, knowing his heart failure would eventually kill him, but once I was faced with it happening, I just lost it. I also found out that he had COPD and dementia. He was placed in hospice and passed away shortly afterwards.

He only asked for 2 things before he died, and that was to have his ashes spread over his favorite fishing spot back here in Houston and to make sure that I get his dog and take care of him for the remainder of his life. This is where I ask for your help. I barely get by financially as it is; I don't have the money to fly up there and bring him and Buddy (his dog) back down. He left me his car, which is a blessing because I lost my vehicle recently and have had to take the metro to get to work. Please find it in your hearts to help me bring my dad back to the place where he was the most happy in his life. I can't let him down. Thanks y'all, and may God bless you.
