REQUEST FULFILLED My son and his whole family were killed by a drunk driver.
https://www.kcbd.com/2023/05/08/3-adults-2-children-killed-head-on-collision-west-lubbock/
It was his girlfriend's birthday. She was pregnant. They were on their way home from eating dinner when an drunk crossed the median into oncoming traffic going 90mph. Killed my son, her, and their two children.
Funeral costs are astronomical.
Any help would be appreciated.

I know how you feel, believe me I do. In an instant, my husband and 5 year old daughter were killed by a drunk driver. I hold and hug you in my arms, from far away, but hope you can feel it somehow. You will be in my prayers. I will contribute what I can.

Dear god. This is honestly the most heart breaking thing somebody could go through. Words can’t express my empathy towards you right now, and honestly it’s a terrible thing to even try to comprehend. On top of dealing with this terrible lost of lives having to worry about the cost as well. I pray for strength towards yours & the girlfriends family.

I don't have the funds to spare at the moment, but I do offer my sincerest condolences, and will share the gofundme. My thoughts go out to all involved in this horrible and tragic incident. I hope the son of a bitch that caused this tragedy survived the crash, and suffers in prison for the rest of their sorry pathetic life!

Sending you positive vibes. As you grieve in the days, weeks ahead, as life goes on for others. Don't hesitate to reach out, ask for help or pick up the phone. The emotional rollercoaster isn't a ride anyone wants to take. Know that you're in the thoughts of many and your family shines bright. Take time to heal. Please don't forget to take care of you!!

So is the father that wrote this dead too?
[edit: your insinuation is just horrible - I understand being skeptical at times because there ARE scammers out there, but just do a tiny bit of research - also a little bit of thought could also bring some logic into ill-thought cynicism.]

Written by Xavier's cousin (included in gofundme description):
"Xavier (23), his wife Melodie (21), Marcellus aka Marshmallow(2 going on 3), and Lezlie (1 going on 2). Melodie was also expecting, so another life was lost."
•
OP must be parent of Xavier.
[which could be father OR mother, btw]OP's son's family includes their son (Xavier), Xavier's wife (gf), and Xavier's children.
Do you get it now?

u/Unfortunate14 May 11 '23
Quite frankly, I do not.

u/VeganSinnerVeganSain May 11 '23
A man, his wife (or girlfriend), and their children are killed.
The man's parents were not in the accident.
The man's parent wrote this post.
Do you understand now?

Glad you see it now.
I hope next time you'll think a little more before coming to these types of conclusions.

Now I feel stupid about the son in law stuff 🤦🏾♂️ and I feel even more stupid I didn’t understand until you dumbed it down 🤦🏾♂️

u/VeganSinnerVeganSain May 11 '23
Yeah, I saw that in-law comment of yours too - which you've also deleted (it seems).
Even IF one parent of the man had been involved (which they weren't), it still leaves the other parent.

u/Unfortunate14 May 11 '23
I don’t remove my mistakes go ahead I’m in the wrong I deserve to be flamed, I was making jokes about a family that has passed I deserve to get clowned

u/VeganSinnerVeganSain May 11 '23
Again, you're replying under the wrong comment.
But, anyway...
You might want to re-read everything I wrote here...
I never flamed you.
I just tried to clarify things for you.And you deleted your first comment, no?
Or did mod do that?→ More replies (0)1
u/Unfortunate14 May 11 '23
Nah I didn’t I think the mod did

u/VeganSinnerVeganSain May 11 '23 edited May 11 '23
You're also replying under the wrong comments at times.[edit: nevermind - mistake is mine this time because I read this comment of yours incorrectly - but ya know? punctuation is sometimes very important ]

u/Unfortunate14 May 11 '23
Atleast I’m taking accountability lol
4
u/VeganSinnerVeganSain May 11 '23
Yes. 👍
Might I make another suggestion?...
What I do if I make any mistake in a post/comment that is pointed out to me by other comments, is edit my initial comment by putting a strike-through thru my original text, and add my correction (sometimes putting the added correction in square brackets - but not always).
I think this is helpful to all on SM - at least *I* find it helpful.
[edit: I think it's better than just deleting]

It is never appropriate to call someone a scammer on their post. If you have concerns about someone’s post, we welcome that concern in modmail. But we do not tolerate judgment or harassing comments. Thank you.
