Help Kenneth's parents and children pay these final expenses

Donation protected
My name is Lee Vanoster and most of you know our son Kenneth Vanoster committed suicide on August 7, 24. His mother and I have been left with a large amount of cost for his funeral and headstone over 3,000 dollar's and trying to help take care of his kid's when we can and this would help us out tremendously if you could donate to help us finish paying for Kenneth's final expenses.He was do for a court hearing at 10am and another one at 1 pm. His mother and I got to the first hearing and was coming back for the second, but we got a call from Perry County Sheriff Office telling his mother too get us to Genesis Somerset ASAP our son had hung himself with his jump suit right in the Perry County Jail (Dungeon) and they was working on him but at that time they was working on him he was technically dead and they put him in a ventilator and we all got there and the doctor's and nurses was rushing us to a little room so the doctor could come talk to us about our son life. He was on a ventilator and that was the only thing that was keeping him alive, his mother told them to take it out, that he never wanted that but we had to wait to get to Genesis main campus in Zanesville to have more testing done to determine the damage. I would like to mention that my son was the ONLY inmate in that jail already supposed to be on suicide watch due to the prior 5 day's before where he had to be taken to the hospital and released back into Perry County Sheriff Office care UNDER/RELEASED on suicide watch after being mildly sedated with Ativan while in the hospital with x3 officer's at bedside and it didn't work but they sent him on his way any how. On August 7,24 he made it to his first court hearing and actually got great news and the officer was walking him back across the road to the abandoned jail for him to be in a cage with no bathroom, water, phone or button to call for help if he would have needed something and still on watch. Our son single hanadly took off his jump suit and used it to hang himself and when we got the call and had to make decisions for the end of his life. Kenneth had 8 children ranging from 14-4 with two mother's. His mother and I are left with ALL furnal and head stone expenses at the sum of $ 9,300.00 , we have got the furnal paid down to a little over 5,000 and his head stone is left with around 1,300.00. My wife has had bad health and still up coming appointments in Cleveland, Columbus, and New Albany,vand Ohio State so she is completely disabled and i am the only person working and with the cost of living and halfing to miss so much work the. Bills keep coming and my family has stopped everything on a dime to help someone in in many situations and never expected anything in return, but at this time we do ask for help financially anything would be appreciated to help lift this burden off our shoulders, and we can the focus on his 8 beautiful kiddo's and what they need and want and with the holidays coming up my wife is absolutely devastated and can't make it through one day from crying and the financial place were in. So we ask that you donate as much as you can afford and share our post and we would love to give them a great Christmas because this is there 1 years without there daddy and they deserve it, but bill's have to come first.... So if everyone could help us out it would be greatly appreciated and loved. Our son will get his justice and so will his children if it is the death of me and his mother...
