Hope for the Sullivan's

Imagine being a young mother of four children, all under the age of twelve, happily married to the love-of-your-life, when one day, your hopes and dreams come to a shattering halt and your husband won't be coming home. I'm a married, mother of two children and cannot even begin to fathom this, yet, this is exactly what happened to my sister/best friend, Paige (Letendre) Sullivan. On June 26, 2022, my brother-in-law, Ian Robert Calvin Sullivan, 34, passed away.

In 2015, Paige fell in love and married Ian. She and her two children, sweet Riley and vivacious Vik, joined him where he was stationed as a Navy, Petty Officer 2nd Class in Port Hueneme Base, CA where the spunky Amelia was born. Ian and his young family were then transferred to Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, NJ where the precious Beau was born. In preparation of Ian getting out in 2023 and entering civilian life, they purchased their dream home in Connecticut to raise their family.

The life they had planned together has drastically been altered by the loss of Ian, leaving Paige to figure out so many things without him. I honestly can't even begin to imagine how my sister will support four children, a household and two dogs without Ian's support. I am starting this fundraiser for my sister and her children to help alleviate some of the financial burden that she will now face. My parents and I will continue to support them, but she and the children will require more than what we can provide. Ian was a devoted family man, husband and father who patriotically served his country. We graciously ask for any help possible to help provide hope to his wife and children. We thank your for your support during this extremely difficult time.
