Help James and Will Overcome Loss of Both Parents
Donation protected
It is with great sadness and heavy hearts that we are asking for your help on behalf of James (23) and Will (19) Inness, who in a little over a year, have lost both parents. On January 17, 2023, their father Allen died suddenly from a cardiac embolism, and on April 17, 2024, they lost their mother Anna Barbara "AB" (Collins) Inness to an aeortic aneurism.
Life as a 20-something without your parents is heartbreaking, and James and Will are faced with so much more. On September 14, 2023, James was diagnosed with synovial sarcoma. After removal of one lung, 5 rounds of chemotherapy, and continuing radiation, James is doing well. He will continue with daily radiation for 7 weeks, and many years of continued healthcare expenses associated with battling cancer.
Financially, the next two years will prove to be the most challenging, as James continues his medical treatment, and remains medically disabled.
Where will your donation go? A trust has been set up for the boys, with funds used for medical premiums and expenses, living expenses, and continued job training and educational needs. Donations will go directly to this account.
Please note when donating, there is an option to tip GoFundMe (funds do not go to James & Will), which is a sliding bar. You have the option to move the bar to whatever you prefer, from 0% to 30%, and is defaulted to 18%.
When faced with the unthinkable, it brings comfort to know that the boys and their extended families are surrounded by a community that will continue to lift them up in acts of kindness, prayer and financial support.
