Help Phillip Bentley's Loved Ones

My name is Chrissy Hicks. This GoFundMe is to help the Bentley family with end-of-life expenses, household expenses, and to start a future fund for his children.

Phillip Bentley, one of our local Mustang club members, passed away on December 3rd at the age of 45. Phillip attended Carlisle Ford Nationals with his family this past June, as he does every year, except this year he was finally able to bring his beautiful 1991 Fox Body Mustang he had been working on for years! Phillip, his daughters, and his fiancée loved participating in Mustang events and shows. It was always a family event for them, and they were inseparable.

On June 29th, Phillip was diagnosed with a brain abscess and had an emergency life-saving procedure on July 3rd. After his procedure, he was hospitalized for over 3 months. He was finally able to return home in October but was never able to return to work. Despite his illness, Phillip and his fiancée Elizabeth continued to plan their wedding. Unfortunately, they didn't have their special day. Phillip succumbed to his illness on December 3rd, leaving behind Elizabeth, his fiancée and partner of 8 years, and his beautiful daughters Alyssa, who is 17, and Alisha, who is 16. Both of the girls are still in high school. They are absolutely lost without their dad.

Elizabeth is now left with 6 months of medical expenses and end-of-life expenses, all the while trying to plan for the future for their girls and all of the costs that come with it. This family is so deserving of grace and kindness! Phillip was an absolute stand-up guy, and I know his greatest wish would be to make sure that his daughters and his fiancée are loved and taken care of.
