Tim Yeighs Funeral expenses. A loving father and Husband.

Donation protected







Hi, my name is Leah. I and my mother, Tonya Yeigh are trying to start a go fund me for my stepdaddy Tim J Yeigh. He was unexpectedly diagnosed with stage 3 lung cancer in January of this year at the age of 58. We found out 5 months ago that it had spread to his brain and lymph nodes. Unexpectedly he was in a head on collision 2 weekends ago and air lifted to the med in Memphis TN. My mother is disabled and unfortunately the cancer caused him to not be able work any longer. He had just gotten his social security started the week before his car accident so there were no payments made due to the doctors putting him on hospice in a nursing home with only a few weeks to live. And as well, social security is not going to pay him due to medicare covering the costs of his nursing home expenses. I myself am a widow with a small child in nursing school and have no way to help with the funeral expenses. Unfortunately he would have had to survived 3 years for his life insurance to cover these costs. We have no family that are able to help and no way to cover these costs because they were living paycheck to paycheck. If there is anything that anyone could do to help us it would be a blessing beyond belief. Tim has been my stepdaddy since I was 4 years old. I am his only child. He and my mother will have been married 30 years this next January. He was a good man that would help anyone in any way he could. It is my prayer that in our time of need someone will find it in their hearts to help us give him a proper goodbye. Thank you any and all. Any amount helps. We do not expect the full amount to be risen. But we are hoping to afford a head stone after having him cremated. Thank you again, and God bless.
