Help my aunt bring her boy home

Donation protected
Hello everyone, my name is Melisa Calkin. My aunt Julie needs help getting her son, my little cousin, back to Oregon from Ohio, where he was killed by the Gahanna police last week in a tragic standoff.

We are not sure why he was in Ohio. The mayor has launched an outside investigation to determine the cause of the outcome, but for now, my aunt just wants to bring her boy home, make peace with his passing, and lay him to rest. He was only 23 years old. No mother wants to bury her child. Anything you can do is appreciated, as no one is ever prepared for such an extremely tragic loss of their child. I can’t imagine what my aunt is going through. Thank you and Merry Christmas.
