Support for Papa Ralf's Cremation and Service

Last night, around 10 PM on 9/28/24, my wife’s stepdad, Papa Ralf, passed away unexpectedly. Just two months ago, he and his wife Kim were told he had about 2.5 years left after being diagnosed with colon cancer. They moved from Indiana to California to be closer to family, thinking they had more time. Sadly his condition took a sudden turn when his colon ruptured, and he passed shortly after.

Papa Ralf worked hard to support his family, my wife, her siblings, and their mom throughout their lives. We are now trying to raise $2,300 to cover his cremation and a modest service. We understand that many are facing challenges financially right now, so if you’re unable to donate, your prayers and support are just as meaningful. Any help, whether it’s a contribution or a prayer, would be deeply appreciated. Thank you.
