USAToday  Navy vet dying of cancer uses yard sales to raise money for own funeral

For months, a Pennsylvania man diagnosed with terminal cancer has been holding regular yard sales to help pay for his own end-of-life expenses. Now, those costs aren't a worry any more thanks to the kindness of strangers.

David Dunkleberger is one of the organizers of a fundraising effort, which has raised tens-of-thousands of dollars. He told USA TODAY that he met the man in need — Willie Davis, 66 — in early August.

Dunkleberger and a friend attended one of Davis' yard sales, not knowing that the man was struggling with a terminal diagnosis. As they left, Davis told Dunkleberger that the sale was to raise money for a funeral.

“Who’s funeral?” Dunkleberger remembers asking.

“Mine,” Davis replied.

Dunkleberger — 27, of Johnstown, Pennsylvania — says he was haunted by the man's words. He soon decided to set up a crowd-funding campaign.

After local and national media attention this week, Dunkleberger's campaign has raised more than $30,000, which will be used to help meet Davis' final wishes. The campaign has repeatedly raised its goal as the donations kept coming in.

The campaign's GoFundMe page says Davis is a single man who hopes to be buried with his parents in Virginia. He is suffering from Stage 4 squamous cell carcinoma.
