he was i the navy for 23 years, shot down twice in Vietnam. had a pet lion. met my mom(cheated on his gf, lived right next door) making my sister, immediatly moved in and raised all of us as his own....that was when i was 4, 1993..
the navy benefit is only $300 and will take months to get...he wanted to be cremated, but i cant afford it and have no idea how im going to make that happen...i need to switch all the bills over to my name in order to keep a roof over my disabled mothers head, as well as my sisters...just happy that there isnt a mortgage....one less thing..
i am totally lost. i have never dealt with this...been a caregiver for my mother for years and lost all my friends in the process..my best friend died in may a year ago...sold my magnum to help his family.which is what i chose to do..but no im regretting it because i could have kept it and helped my father......my income will just barely cover all the monthly expenses, less food..luckly now i might qualify for food stamps...never thought that i would say that...
can anyone give me advice here on where to start? who to contact? is there any organization that can help with the cremation? the navy? the va?..he had no will. but at least we know what he wanted and all agree...
OT is usually filled with alot of crap. but honestly, i will take any advice from ANYBODY. i dont care.
im sorry for posting here... but my only online presence is here on mopedarmy, i have nowhere else to turn for help or advice. im sure somebody can point me in a direction..thank you all
