Hi! This is Heather Hopkinson and I am asking for your help.

A little over a week ago, I lost a very dear friend of 20 years unexpectedly. Leslie had been having some stomach issues but was unaware of what was happening. Sadly, she succumbed to renal failure and passed away in her sleep. She left behind a son, Ethan, who is a full-time college student. He has been out of work since the death of his mother.

It just so happens that a little over a year ago, they lost Leslie's son and Ethan's younger brother, Trent, to sepsis. To say that this family has endured heartache is an understatement. I am trying to help Ethan get back on his feet so he can cover any day-to-day costs and college expenses. Any amount helps!
