My name is Robin Michelin and I'm raising funds to help my cousin with the funeral of her son. No parent should bury their child, but sometimes they do, and it helps to not have to worry about how you're gonna do it.

Ryan Potter passed away Sunday, May 17th. I can't begin to explain a lot of things, but I'll tell you this... He has been struggling with some emotional issues for quite a few months. I guess we didn't realize to what extent he was struggling. No, he did not take his own life, at least not directly. Ryan passed from the effects of using canned air and "huffing" it. While he made the choice to huff, I and the authorities and those of us who were close to him don't believe that he meant to die. He just wanted the 'pain' in his heart to stop. I don't want to expound on it any more than that. But... Ryan is no longer struggling.

He will be cremated, and then we will lay Ryan next to or with his Dad at a later time. I do know beyond a shadow of a doubt that Ryan is saved and is currently with our Heavenly Father! I am also sure that his Dad was there to meet him. But my heart is broken, both for the son I must now bury and for the son who must experience the loss of his very best friend in the whole world. PLEASE pray for us as a family, for his children to have comfort in processing their grief.

Thank you.
