On Sunday, April 13, 2025, my dear friend lost her beloved husband, Will, to suicide—a devastating blow to their family. Will was a dedicated Veteran who bravely served six deployments: three in Afghanistan, one in Iraq, one in Bosnia, and one in South Korea. After retiring from the military in 2022, he battled severe PTSD, and despite his strength, the weight of his struggles grew heavier. Tragically, Will’s passing has left his family without the military retirement and VA benefits they relied on for basic needs, as no survivor benefit plan was in place.

Now, Will’s wife and children face an uncertain future, grieving an immense loss while navigating financial hardship. They are humbly asking for your prayers and any support you can offer to help them through this painful transition. Your donation, no matter the size, will provide critical relief for essentials like housing, food, and utilities as they rebuild their lives. All $50,000 will be used for essentials as Sarah takes on the caretaker role of the family.

Please consider contributing and sharing this campaign to honor Will’s service and give his family hope in this dark time. Every bit of kindness makes a difference.
