Help our Family with Funeral Costs
Donation protected
I am raising money for my Father n Law which is my husbands Omar's Father who is Herbert Anderson Jr. Born in March of 1938. He is dying of Sarcoma Cancer of the bladder, failing kidneys, dementia and he has a bad heart.
I will give you a little background history of my husbands Father. He raised 5 children and 1 of his sons died back in 2012. Mr. Anderson served in the Military and is a Veteran. Mr. Anderson was a professional musician who played the trumpet with Famous people like Ray Charles and also had his own Music store in Los Angeles, CA where he taught people music. He taught a young man who is very successful now named Rickey Minor the Music Director for American Idol and the Jay Leno show.
Mr. Anderson had to stop his music career touring because his oldest son Herbert Anderson the III was beaten really bad by some gang members in his early 20's and ended up paralyzed and in a coma for 8 months. His dad vowed to take care of his disabled son and he did just that. He had been taking care of his son for over 25 years as a single parent up until his dad had a major stroke in Feb of 2012. When that happened Mr. Anderson was unable to take care of Herbert the III who was paralyzed and needed full time care. So my husband took over that responsibility and brought his older brother to live with us. His brother lived with us for a few months before he got ill and died in Dec of 2012. I think his brother fell into a depression from the separation of not being with his dad everyday. It was ruled as natural causes. That was a big blow to the family.
Mr. Anderson later was diagnosed with Dementia and his health declined he still wanted to be independent but was unable to do so. He was forgetting to pay bills and just lost control of his personal affairs. My husband Omar has the Power of Attorney over his dad and had to make a tough decision to move his dad in with us back in 2013. His dad lived with us for 1 year before his dad's dementia got worse then we had to make another hard decision to put him in a skilled nursing facility not far from us in late 2014. His dad's health has continued to decline and just a month ago was diagnosed with deadly Sarcoma cancer and just 2 weeks ago suffered a massive heart attack. Last week he actually flat lined and was able to be revived but the doctors are giving him less than a month to live. With all his Health issues we have started planning his funeral. We went last week to get the cost of his funeral arrangements and they said it will be around $10,000. His dad didn't believe in Life Insurance so it's all on the family. My husband Omar is very prideful and doesn't even know I'm doing this GoFundMe for his Dad. The financial responsibility is on my husband and siblings. He is stressing out to abide by his dad's wishes in his will to be buried with dignity. My husband is taking this really hard because he and his dad are really close.
If you find it in your hearts to donate any amount to help with the funeral costs it will be greatly appreciated! Please Share this with your friends and family!!!!
If you don't feel comfortable using this platform to pay we have a PO BOX to mail money orders.
