Untimely Death of a Father of Three

Donation protected

My beloved husband Mr. Asrat D. Yimer unexpectedly passed away on Saturday, March 11th, 2017 while cooking breakfast for our three young children; Tsedenya (10), Eliab (7) and Kalkidan (2). His sudden death is attributed to Atherosclerosis, a disease in which plaque builds up inside your arteries.

Asrat was a very hard working father, known for his kindness and for putting others before himself. He always dreamt of sending his children to college and to see them grow and live up to reach their God given potential. The last time I saw him was when he woke up early to make breakfast for our children.  The last memory the kids have of their father was when he collapsed on the floor in front of them with a pan of half-cooked scrambled eggs.

With his untimely death, I find myself facing the life of a widow and raising our three young children by myself.

I am now asking anyone with a warm heart to keep our young family in your prayers and help in supporting us as we move forward with our lives. On behalf of my late husband and our children, I would like to express how grateful and humble we are with your donation no matter how small. Your donation will be dedicated to pay for Asrat's funeral expenses and the rest to create a college fund for our children.

Thank you all for taking the time to think of us.
