We are reaching out with heavy hearts to ask for support for someone who is always the first to show up for others — Heavenly Downing. Heavenly’s beloved younger brother, Gregory Kinser, passed away at only 25 years old after a long and difficult struggle with mental illness. His loss has left an unimaginable hole in the hearts of those who loved him.

Right now, Heavenly and her family are facing not only the pain of this tragedy, but also the financial burden of bringing Gregory home. He is currently out of state, and the cost of cremation and transporting his remains back so his family can hold a memorial and lay him to rest is more than they can manage alone.

If you know Heavenly, you know she is one of the most loving, selfless, and giving people. She would never ask for help for herself — which is why we are asking on her behalf. Our goal is to raise funds to cover cremation expenses, bring Gregory home, help ease the financial stress on the family during this time of grief, and allow his loved ones to give him the memorial he deserves.

Every donation, no matter the amount, makes a difference. And if you’re unable to give, please consider sharing this fundraiser to help us reach others. Let’s come together to support Heavenly the way she has supported so many. Thank you for your love, prayers, and generosity during this incredibly difficult time.
