This past week, the Kulas family suffered the devastating loss of their youngest son, Matthew Kulas, 26. Matthew was always a kind, caring, and fun person who loved his family, and did everything is his power to be a good Daddy for his daughter Isabella, who he called his “mini-me”. His family and friends are comforted in the fact that Matthew is now at peace with Jesus and surrounded by unconditional love. Those of you closest to Matthew and the Kulas family know that this is the second heartbreaking loss they have had to endure. Their oldest son Tommy passed away just 3 short years ago. Those of us with children find it unimaginable to lose any of our children, and to think that Walt and Kathy have lost two sons is unfathomable. It is only through their faith in God and the love and support of their family and friends that the Kulas family is enduring.

So many who loved Matthew, and love Kathy, Walt and Brian, have asked how they can help. Obviously this was unexpected and there are a lot of expenses that come with funerals and all that goes with them. We want to help them not struggle financially trying to figure out where the money will come from. We are hoping to raise enough to cover ALL the funeral expenses, and, I found out today that Walt and Kathy have been unable to purchase a headstone yet for Tommy. Let’s help them do that too, and if there is any money left, it will go directly to helping the Kulas family honor Matthew’s life and help take care of his beautiful 4 year old, Isabella.

Thank you for helping our friends.
