Help a family - Provider passed
Donation protected
Kenny's widow Shari is in the process of trying to get his Social Security moved over to her name, but this takes time. In the meantime, this Gofundme can help her cover rent. Let's all try to help out! :)
On December 31, Kenny was helping a friend out with a home improvement project. He and his friends were at Harbor Freight getting some materials when Kenny went into cardiac arrest and stopped breathing. A good friend administered CPR and kept Kenny's heart from stopping long enough for paramedics to arrive and use the defibrillator. Kenny had not been breathing for 11 minutes, and most likely sustained brain damage. He lived another 12 hours in a comatose state, which allowed his daughter Kendra Heltne Flint, and high school sweetheart and wife of 46 years, Shari Flint, and other family, to see him and say their goodbyes before he passed at 4:50am on January 1, 2017. Kenny was the provider for the family, and there is no life insurance. Expenses will be piling up quickly with regular bills on top of funeral expenses. This goal of $5K is a conservative figure of the real need! Kenny was a great neighbor to all. He would give the shirt off his back to help those in need, without even being asked. It's our turn as friends, neighbors, and family to "pass it on" and help his loved ones as they face these overwhelming expenses. Every donation helps.
