In Memory of Kx. Vamtxoov David Thao

Dear all friends and family,

Today I am asking for help, one of the scariest things to do.

Even though my father's death was recent, his declining health had always been present.

With this being said, his inability to walk and his constant visit to the hospital had left my mother working overnight with two jobs at the same time.

It has been a hard life. But through it all, my mother stayed strong for her 3 kids, and a husband she had to take care of. And if I have to be completely honest, she is at her limit.

There were many skipped days of work to take care of my father during the last couple of months before he passed. Even though this was worth it, it comes with sacrifices and consequences.

This GoFundMe is created to fund money for my father's funeral and my family in general. There have been many of you kind human beings who have been asking to find a place to donate. This is the place. It takes a huge heart and someone who is empowered by love to donate. I do not expect people who read this to feel the obligation to donate. But to anyone who donates just $1, $5, or more, everything is greatly appreciated. My family will forever be grateful. Truly.

There is not much me and my siblings can do to help fund the funeral. But this is something I can do. Therefore, I ask for your help. Considering the many friends and strangers who my dad had touched and impacted during his life, we estimate that there will be a crowded population of people who will attend his funeral. We wanted to create a funeral that honors his legacy, one that he deserves.

We thank you all so so much for the kind messages shared with us during this time.

It truly has made us feel as though we are not alone.

Grief is a tough subject. We all are still collectively in denial. And sometimes, the memories and emotions hit harder on special days.

Once it does, the tears just don't stop. Until it does, and then the cycle repeats.

But this is a part of life, and it has truly been thanks to our supportive society that we are able to go through it with a bit more ease than most.

To everyone who is going through grief right now, I see you and I feel with you.

The funeral has been set on September 16-18, 2023. It is a bit far back, but this is because we wanted to allow time for friends out of the state and country to find plane tickets or time to take off work and make it.

It would mean the world to our family if friends of the past visited my dad before we send him off.

To friends who know me and my sibling, you are also welcome to attend the funeral.

The location will soon be shared on a FaceBook event page.

It will be an easy way to access information and ask questions about the funeral.

When everything is set, all of the funeral's information will be posted there.

Here is a link to the event: https://fb.me/e/KqVAujAP

If this is not convenient for you, you can call two phone numbers on the FaceBook event page. It would connect you to Ntxoo Yag, a relative of my father who has even more information about the funeral. It would also connect you to my mother.

Once again, thank you all so much. Thank you for reading this far. We are forever grateful for your heart.

Love,

My father's daughter.
