In memory of Grayson Ratliff beloved child of God

My name is Bonnie Sells and I have set up this fundraiser with permission and on behalf of the Ratliff family. The donations made here will assist the family with funeral expenses and the funds raised will be donated for scholarships for families of children who need help processing trauma.

Thoughts from the Ratliff family:

"The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit" Psalms 34:18

Our hearts are broken. We struggle to understand why this has happened.

As you can imagine, we are wondering, "what now?" We can honor our son Grayson's life to help other families.

Mental health and trauma are invisible battles that many are facing. Finding help and obtaining resources specializing in trauma, are very challenging to find and to afford for most famlies. We want to change that.

Please help us honor Grayson's life If you feel led to by donating.

The funds will be used for scholarships for families to support them in obtaining resources that are so desperately needed.

Our son is in the arms of the Lord now. Our arms are empty. We will never hear his voice again or feel the warmth of his hugs or the sound of his laughter. Grayson was so much more than his death. He was kind. He had a beautiful soul. He loved us deeply. His smile lit up the room. He was tender and sweet and he was a beautiful young man.

"The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you; the Lord turn His face toward you and give you peace" Numbers 6:24-26
