The ex-USMC wife who was killing Fighting against Russian invaders in Ukraine has led to a “complete breakdown” of her life since her husband’s death, according to the father of the slain soldier.

New York native Willie Joseph Cancel, 22, left his wife, 22-year-old Brittany – also a veteran – and their seven-month-old son, Anthony, behind in March after taking a paying job at a private army contracting company “in order to protect Innocents” in Ukraine, his father wrote on a GoFundMe Page.

On Tuesday, Cancellation’s wife received “the worst call of her life,” when she was told her husband had been killed in a fight, the father said.

She was told in a phone call: “Your husband fought bravely but unfortunately did not succeed.”

“Since that phone call on April 26, her life has completely fallen apart, and now she must figure out how to rebuild it together, to figure out how to raise her son without his father or financial support,” the father wrote of the fundraiser. The site that contains Raised over $36000 As of early Saturday morning.

“As a family, we try to support them as much as we can and be next to each other, but Brittany and Anthony are going to need more than we can provide.”

The fundraiser hopes to raise enough money to support his wife and son.

Cancel’s father wrote of his grandson: “He would grow up without a father, a father who was brave and selfless and his life wasted meaningless.”

“As he grows up knowing that his father died a hero, we know this will not be easy. No parent should ever have to bury their child, and no child should grow up without a parent.”

Cancel, who is originally from Orange County and worked as a volunteer firefighter in Walden, traveled to Poland on March 12 and arrived in Ukraine the following day to fight alongside men from “all different countries,” his mother, Rebecca Cabrera. He told CNN Friday.

Cabrera said the circumstances of Cang’s death were not clear and that his body had not been recovered immediately.

The Marine Corps said Friday that Abolition had previously served as a Marine Corpsman and was stationed at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina.

Marine Corps spokesman Major Jim Stinger said he had no war zone deployments and was laid off from bad job after violating a legal public order.
