Help Us Give Samuel the Ceremony He Deserves

My amazing, caring, confident, goofy Samuel has very unexpectedly passed due to his underlying health issues. Our hearts are broken. His way of showing love for the people he cared about was to make sure that they were taken care of. He was very independent and rarely asked for anything for himself. Before he passed, he shared with me that he would like a Celebration of Life ceremony and gave me a little insight on what he wanted that to look like.

I'm an only parent of multiple children and am currently receiving a minimal amount of Worker's Comp due to a work injury, so funds are low. The kids and I have been planning and working towards his ceremony all by ourselves, but I really need to remember to ask for help. If anyone can help with any of the things to do, materials needed, or can donate, we would appreciate it so very much. Much of the ceremony will be things the kids worked on, as he wanted, so you would be helping them work through their grieving process. His death was intended to be kept secret, but I will not allow his bright light to be snuffed out and will do anything to make sure he has the ceremony that he wanted. ❤️

Any leftover money would be going towards a memorial for him. I have no way of being able to fund that on my own and the kids so desperately need one for him, especially since they didn't get to say their goodbyes.
