Funeral Expenses for Jamal Turpin

On June 23, 2017 10-Year-Old Jamal Turpin suddenly passed away due to a drowning accident.
Jamal was a soon-to-be 5th Grader at Roosevelt STEAM Academy. He always lit up a room when he was around and was always eager to help people no matter what. He was a very special boy with an infectious smile and laugh that could light up a room. I can't remember a time where he and I would not be laughing and making jokes. He was a hugger and always made sure you got your daily hug.
Since this was such a sudden and devastating loss, the family is in need of love, prayers, and support. The money being raised is to go towards funeral/memorial expenses for Jamal's family.
