Help support the legacy of George Campbell

Donation protected
*Update at bottom (10/06)*
Early in the morning of September 24th my father, George Campbell, passed away suddenly in his sleep. He was 76 years old and a beloved husband and father. He was also beloved to the many people, all over the world, whose lives he touched in his never ceasing work to bring awareness to the fight to cure and prevent merkel cell carcinoma.
My mother and I are devastated by his loss but take comfort in knowing how many lives he touched. My dad was a simple man whose will specified that he be cremated and that any service be limited to immediate family. But even though this reduces the cost of his final expenses to something more manageable than a typical funeral we still have financial concerns.

My parents have been married for 48 years and have lived in the same home since 1990. After his passing I found a notice on my dad's desk saying that we owe over $4000 in property taxes. If these taxes are not paid by November first we will lose the house.
So I would ask that if my father touched your life and made it better, that you consider helping my mother and I. Any donation is greatly appreciated.

*Update*
I want to express my heartfelt generosity to all those who have donated and helped us reach our initial goal. My mother and I are truly grateful. The goal was $5,500 to cover $1300 in cremation expenses and a $4,200 delinquent property tax bill. Thanks to everyone's kindness I was able to pay for both the cremation and the delinquent taxes. There will still be expenses going forward, such as home healthcare for my mother but I have faith that we will be just fine. Thank you again.
