Fundraiser in memoriam of Matthew Bolinski

I’ve had the honor of working with Stephen for the past two years now, and he’s always been motivated and had a positive outlook on life and the service we’re in. He’s a friend, a Shipmate, and a brother in arms. He’s the type of guy who would give you the shirt off his back if you needed it. To those of us in the service, he’s family, no matter what branch we’re in. To everyone else, he’s a service member who’s dedicated over a decade of his life to selflessly serving his country. Now it’s our responsibility to help him in his time of need. No parent ever should have to go through the loss of their child, and only those who have been though it could possibly understand. I’m starting this fundraiser to help cover and costs that will arise from this tragic incident. Any amount that you can give will be a great help, and if you can’t donate, please share this on social media, or with anyone else you know.
