My name is Pete Kramer, and I am a very good friend of Joe Handy, and the Handy family.  

I am setting up a GoFundMe campaign to help raise funds to help with medical bills and expenses related to the health of Joe & Kelly's son, Holden.

Holden has been diagnosed with a rare condition called Leigh's Syndrome.  You can read more about the condition here:

In order for Holden to receive the treatment he needs, the Handy family has had numerous hospital and specialist visits, and requires in-home nursing, in-home occupational therapy, in-home physical therapy and other costly medical/healthcare costs.

We are seeking to raise $15,000 to help cover some of the current and future healthcare costs needed to help get Holden the care that is needed, and keep the Handy family focused on quality family time, and not concerned about medical bills.

Many medical bills have already began to mount, so we would like to raise these funds by March 31, 2017 so we can begin helping Holden, and the Handy family ASAP.

Thank you for giving whatever you and your family is able to provide!  Any donation will be of great help!

Thanks, and God Bless
