Temecula Family Needs Your Help After Sudden Passing Of Loved One

TEMECULA, CA -- A GoFundMe fundraiser has been launched to accept donations to help pay a local family's expenses following the sudden death of a loved one.

Kevin Hill died recently of cancer, and his daughter, Elysia Capps says that the family needs help to pay the expenses associated with his medical care.

"My mom has been left with the burden of burial expenses and bills piled up from my dad being sick," Capps wrote earlier this week in a post on the crowdfunding site. "Any amount my mom will be extremely grateful for."

Capps said that her father had lived a life of public service.

"My Dad was a Vietnam Vet, Police Dept Vet, a retired teacher, Santa, a great Dad, and Papa," she said. "Cancer took him too soon from us; he fought up until the very end. He is no longer in pain and suffering."

The family is looking to raise $5,000. Donations to the cause can be made online via the GoFundMe website.
