Hello, my name is Heather Burrows and I’m creating this fundraiser on behalf of our friend Joel & his family.

Joel was the kind of person who changed the atmosphere the moment he walked into a room by bringing laughter, light and a heart full of kindness. To his goofy laugh, his hilarious chaos and his readiness to help anyone at any time made the tough days manageable and the good days unforgettable. We will forever miss our friend.

As his family navigates this unimaginable pain we want to help them with the same kindness, support and care Joel showed so many of us. This fundraiser is to help lift some of the financial burden during this time including memorial expenses, travel, time away from work and anything they need as they begin to process and heal.

All funds will go directly to Joel’s family.

If you feel led to give, thank you. If you can share this with others who loved him we are grateful. Every gesture big or small means more than you know.

Thank you for helping us honor Joel’s life and support the people he loved most.
