So I have a good friend that's going through a really difficult time. See about 6 months ago my friend's father went missing. They found his dad murdered in a shallow grave not far from where we live. Here is that story.
Well they hadn't officially announced anything to my friend besides letting him read the affidavit that showed that they believed it was his father's remains. Today he was notified that the DNA results had came back and it was indeed his father. Obviously deep down inside he knew but there's always some percentage of hope that it would come back to be someone else.
So the police called to let him know that they will be releasing his body on Thursday and if he isn't able to come up with at least $1200 (the cost to have the bones cremated) within 96 hours of the body being released his father will become a John Doe. At the very least he wants to be able to spread his dad's ashes even if he isn't able to have a service for him. Bryan's mother passed away when he was a little kid and his brother is incarcerated so he's all that is left. His dad didn't have any life insurance or any money so hes left with no money to pay for this stuff. Bryan has a little two year old son and has his hand recently smashed at work by a machine that was improperly hooked up with the incorrect chains. The chain failed and smashed his hand so hes off work currently until he can return.
We were trying to set up a GoFundMe account but you have to have the account open for 72 hours then close the account and wait 3-7 days to receive a check. So obviously there isn't much of a window.
Anyway I told him there's a lot of great people on here and maybe some would be willing to help a close friend of mine out. So if anyone would be willing to help I would greatly appreciate it and give you a 2 free months of a subscription here. I really don't have much of an idea of how else to help him. Any other suggestions are appreciated.
You can just send the money to my PayPal and I'll be able to transfer it to my account and give him the money. My account is Steelerfan81@gmail.com
Thanks in advance guys. It'll mean a ton if yinz can help out . Thanks Justin .
For what it's worth his dad was a Vet. But unless he can come up with the money before hand that won't even matter because the VA had no idea he was even missing or any of that until my friend called them today. Basically they aren't prepared so hes screwed.
