Ben Zoellner was an amazing man, a beloved Teacher, and a lifelong Mason and Eastern Star member. More recently he has spent his years dedicated to caring for his sick wife and daughter who is fighting with declining health both physically and mentally.

Besides the physical and mental toll this has had on him, he had been struggling financially due to the loss of income when his wife died, and recently had finally just gotten out of bankruptcy. He purchased a burial policy for himself after the death of his wife two years ago to not be a burden, but it is looking like they may not pay out so there isn't enough money left for a funeral.

Funds are also needed for his disabled daughter who lived with him and depended on him. She can barely walk and is on oxygen 24/7. Previously, their combined income barely covered the mortgage and bills, and now she doesn't have enough to sustain herself and her medical bills.

Any amount you can contribute will help and is greatly appreciated.
