On February 18th, a Rome N.Y. family began the process of mourning the loss of a beautifully spirited seven year old boy following a local house fire.
I cannot begin to understand the devastation that comes with receiving such news, and as a community we often feel helpless to comfort in times of tragedy.
My hope is that as a whole, we can help the family to grieve properly by reducing the burdens of funeral expenses, and offering services and support where needed.
There are no words to describe the pain that comes with the forced acceptance of losing a child, but as a community of parents, we can empathize with the destruction.
If you are able to assist financially, or offer pro bono services, know your donation would go solely, and sincerely to a family facing the utmost heartbreak.
