On behalf of the Hill family, I am asking for support during the most heartbreaking moment of their lives. Their beloved son, my nephew, Drake Hill, was recently found after being reported missing out of La Grande, Oregon. He had gone missing on Nov. 3rd with only his backpack and the clothes on his back. After a lengthy search he was finally located on Nov. 21st deceased. The loss of such a young life has left my family, Drakes friends, and community devastated.

As my family navigates this unimaginable loss and grief, we are also facing the unexpected financial burden of burial expenses, transportation costs for bringing Drake home, and the funeral services needed to honor his life. These expenses add up quickly, and no family should have to face them alone — especially in a time of such profound sorrow.

Drake was deeply loved, and his absence has created a void that can never be filled. Any contribution, no matter the amount, will go directly to The Hill Family to help ease the financial stress as they focus on grieving, healing, and celebrating Drake’s memory with the dignity he deserves.

If you are unable to donate, please consider sharing this fundraiser. Your support means more than words can express.

Thank you for supporting my family during this difficult time.
