I received devastating news that my dear friend Andrea Ishikawa, a West Wind Neighbor, and a May Watts Mom passed away suddenly on Christmas Eve. My heart is completely broken with this loss, but even more difficult is that she has left behind her precious children without either parent as their father passed away 11 weeks prior. I am reaching out to everyone, as these boys will definitely need OUR help!

Maxwell & Henry lost their Father on October 5, after a long battle with cancer because of his ongoing health issues, Kazuki could no longer work his job at OCS America and Andrea quit her job at North Central College to stay home and care for him. Due to the medical expenses incurred, they were left in a very difficult financial position.

Andrea & Kazuki loved their boys dearly! Please donate if you can, to help lay their beautiful Mother, and our friend and neighbor, to rest and help these boys to get back on their feet. Hopefully, they can get back to some kind of “normalcy” sooner rather than later.

To those of you that can't donate, if you would please consider sharing this post to help spread the word and the help for these boys, a simple share can go a long way.

I know that any and all support received means the world to them, so I thank each & every one of you!
