My cousin Nicole and her family yesterday suffered a terrible loss. One mother/ Dad should never have to endure. They lost their 19 year old son Trysten unexpectedly. Ron and Nicole have always helped where and when needed. Nicole runs her own business and will be putting a pause on that for now to take time for herself to grieve and take care of her 3 other children’s needs, and support. As this was very unexpected there will be funeral expenses, and everyday expenses and bills. And, just 12 days away from Christmas. I ask that we come together as family, friends etc.. and help her family with any expenses and give Nicole, Ron and their three other children a wonderful Christmas to give them something to put a smile on their face as they are also grieving the loss of their brother. If you can’t donate as I know the holiday season is here, please share.

*In addition to the needs already mentioned. Lucia is in California where she is working, attending school, and as a home she still needs to pay bills on. So, funds are also tight there too. We need to get her home and back. It is an absolute need that she be here with her family at this time❤️❤️

**If you’ve donated, shared, reached out etc.. Thank you so much❤️ I’m asking that everyone please keep sharing. As a mother who’s lost her son. The grief never ends. Taking care of your emotional needs, mental, financial etc.. it’s a never ending road. The siblings, especially the younger ones just don’t understand and have a whirl of emotions making it real, grieving, where does life go on from here without their brother. Parents trying to live their new “normal “ Ron and Nicole would like to purchase a memory bench. This would be used for family, friends, his siblings etc.. to sit and talk about emotions, memories, and so on. Or just to sit and have someone sit with them knowing “if I’m here, I need someone, I just don’t have the words” Sometimes just having someone sit with you in silence or sit while you take out your emotions means the world to someone who is grieving or just not ok with their mental health. Thank you, and love to you all ❤️❤️
