Funds for Mitchell Lyell's Funeral

Donation protected
I'm Kelly, Mitchell's oldest daughter. My family and I need to raise money so my dad can have a proper funeral service. Unfortunately my mother and I do not have that type of money. His death was very sudden and unexpected so there was no planning ahead and no saving of any money. My dad became depressed with his life, he hated the dialysis he had to do, and he was down right miserable. Him not going to his treatments all the time and not staying the full time caused him to develop congestive heart failure. Monday, August 8th, 2016 he was having trouble breathing all day and eventually collapsed to the floor. He quit breathing and his heart had stopped due to too much fluid in and around the heart and lungs. His brain went without oxygen for too long and he had severe brain damage that was irreversible. My dad didn't have any brain function and didn't have any primitive reflexes, his body was being sustained only due to a ventilator. His heart eventually gave out this morning August 11, 2016 at about 2:24 am central time. This is the worst thing that has happened to my family and we are broken. It would be such a blessing if we were able to raise some money for my dad, he was a great person. We really need this money as soon as possible so we can get it to the funeral director by Monday, August 15. My dad deserves to have a halfway decent service. I hope we can accomplish this for him. Any and all donations would be greatly appreciated and help us so much. 

    Thank you so much,
