If you spend time on Lower Essex Street/Canal Street you probably knew Desmond Yeoh from Y.H. Printing, Inc. He died in late June following a long illness. And now his wife, Helen could use a little bit of help from friends and neighbors. There’s a GoFundMe to help her cover Desmond’s funeral expenses.
Here’s the first part of the fundraising appeal:
“Helen and her late husband, Desmond, have been pillars of our community, always offering kindness and support to those around them. For years, Helen and Desmond have touched countless lives with their generosity and warmth, whether it was lending a hand to a neighbor in need or simply sharing a smile on the street. Their presence has made our community stronger and more connected, and Desmond’s recent passing has left us all feeling the weight of his absence.
Now, Helen is facing not only a profound loss, but also the financial challenge of covering funeral expenses. This is a difficult time for her, and we want to ensure she feels the love and support of the community she and Desmond have nurtured.”
