Support Anna in Giving Thomas a Celebration of Life

Donation protected
My brother, Thomas Desanto, was 57, but his brain was like that of a 4-year-old. He passed away today at around 5:30 in the morning from a seizure. He was so lovable, and I miss him so much. My mom passed away and gave me custody of him, but now I don't have the money for anything—not for nice clothes and not for a proper burial. I live on SSI, and that's only $943.00 a month. I can't do anything for him with that and pay bills. I'm looking for help because he deserved it so much. He had been having seizures since he was 9 months old. He died at 57. He never could go outside, play with other kids, play ball, or ride a bike because he didn't know when he would have a seizure. My mom died 4 years ago. I had my brother Thomas for about 2 weeks before she passed away. I have been, for over the last 4 years, sitting in my bedroom with him 24/7 every day just to make sure he was okay. He couldn't do anything for himself; I did everything for him myself. I need 3 surgeries, but I put all my stuff on hold for my brother. He missed my mom a lot. He didn't understand what we meant when we told him she passed away. He asked me yesterday early in the morning, 'Why doesn't mommy want me anymore? I wasn't bad.' And now he is gone too. I am asking for help so I can make everything nice for him. If you knew him, you would love him. He was so lovable. He deserves everything to be nice for his goodbye. Any amount anyone can help me with, I would appreciate it. It can also be sent to my Cash App. My name is Anna Colon and my CashApp Tag is $Imissmydogsunshine1 (use this as a last resort). My phone number is [phone redacted].

I'm not sure yet on the date he will be laid out or where because they are doing an autopsy on him. Once I know, I will put the exact date up. They told me about close to 3 weeks everything should be done, and then I will know what exactly killed him. Thank you everyone so much. Yesterday he was sitting on his bed singing the song u r my sunshine he told me he sang it to my mom all the time in believe he died of very bad depression cause he missed my mom so much I knew something was wrong yesterday when he said to me Anna Mommy is outside and I also lost 2 other brothers and a sister and he told me all there names and they where out side cause cause he used to sleep in my room with me just in case of anything we have sliding doors in our room and he saw them all out thru the doors my mom wanted him with her, but she killed me by taking him from me I love and miss him and my mom so much.
