Durham Rescue Mission

We're grieving parents of Leon, whose life ended abruptly at age 17. We're setting up this fundraiser in Leon's memory to help people in need.

In the past months, Leon had talked to us multiple times about how lucky that we're living a comfortable life. A lot of people were affected by the pandemic crisis and have difficulties with basic needs such as food and shelter. Leon would have had so much bright future but the cruel reality is that, he will never have opportunity to contribute to the society. We are raising money to benefit Durham Rescue Mission, and any donation will help Leon's short life to make an impact. Thanks in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to us.
