Support John's Family After Sudden Loss

My name is Chelsea and I'm a close friend to John and his family, sadly he passed away suddenly and unexpectedly, leaving a wonderful, loving family behind. He was the life of the party, a loving and devoted husband, as well as not just a father to his own children but to many of us over the years. He was a fisherman, a hunter, an all-around outdoorsy kind of man, a hard worker, and kind-hearted.

Just before his passing, the family had already gone through a few family losses within the last couple of years, spending their savings for all their memorials. Now that our John has passed ( some know him as Allen), his home of five has no income. In order to receive life insurance, they have to wait up to 90 days before they can even receive his birth certificate. Even though John is a veteran of the United States, the family will only receive $250 for his service. This barely covers their electric bill for one month.

Tragedy struck this family again a few weeks after his passing and now their son Ryan is in the hospital recovering from a critical state along with 2 more close friends from less critical conditions, Ryan also lost his significant other in this incident. Having this happen so soon after the loss of John has compounded things even further for Julie making the help of any funding even more pressing.

I'm kindly asking for help for this amazing family. They own their home but have a lot of property in need of maintenance, they use a wood stove for heat in the winter and with their son now hospitalized we're trying to help them order seasoned wood, theres a new leak in the roof and we're trying to help with the normal bills that come with being a home owner. John's wife alone has to spend $600 in gas using a fuel-efficient vehicle to travel to and from her dad's for health and medical issues since he's finishing up chemo and is being monitored. Please help me help this amazing family to reach their goal and hopefully beyond so they may survive the winter without anymore struggle than has already been laid upon them as well as assist the other surviving families of victims of the tragedy involving their son, his friends and significant other. All donations go straight to their bank account and not through a 3rd party. Anything, including a simple share helps. Thank you.

What Funds will go to:

*Allen's (Johns) memorial

*Julie for Monthly necessities: food, gas, electricity bill, insurance, phone bill...

*Medical bills for Ryan, Patrick, & Rey

*Life flight

*Fixing a roof leak

*Fixing well ( they don't have much water coming up)

*New water tank

*Anything else that's a necessity to be fixed.

At this time Julie has no income as she has a long wait for her husband's death certificate. Then go through the slow process to receive her husband Allens life insurance
