Hi, my name is Danielle and I am raising funds on behalf of my mother, Lorie Helling. She tragically lost her firstborn son, Derek Dophied, on Sunday, April 21st. This is an incredibly difficult time for her, and I would like to ease her burden in anyway I can.

The funds raised will be used to help with the following:

• Transporting Derek from North Dakota to Durant, Oklahoma for his memorial service.

• Covering the costs associated with the memorial service.

• Any unforeseen expenses that may arise during this difficult time.

Your donation, big or small, will be a tremendous blessing to my mother as she grieves the loss of her son. Thank you for your compassion and support. And as Derek would say, “God bless.”
