<div>Dear Friends, Family, and Supporters,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With heavy hearts and unwavering determination, we reach out to you today in the pursuit of justice for Patrick Hayes. Patrick was murdered near his home on September 25, 2024, outside Park City near the Jordanelle Reservoir. However, the legal system has failed to secure justice for Pat. Against all the evidence, the State of Utah will not be prosecuting the perpetrator for murder, and they have only chosen a pursuit of obstruction of justice. We believe that the evidence shows that Patrick was murdered without cause. As a family, we are fighting for the truth, yet we know we cannot do this alone. We are launching this fundraiser to secure the expertise of an experienced criminal lawyer and private investigator who will advocate for us and work tirelessly to uncover the truth and bring those responsible to justice.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Our Story: </strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Pat was a loving brother, fiancé, father, uncle, and a loyal friend and someone who touched the lives of everyone around him. He was widely respected in the world of swimming and water polo and in the community, he called home, Park City, Utah. His life was abruptly ended in a violent act, leaving his family, friends, and fiancé devastated. Despite our attempts to seek justice, we have faced obstacles that require professional legal services to help us navigate the complexities of the criminal justice system.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Why We Need Your Help: </strong>
</div>
<div>The cost of securing legal representation, conducting an independent investigation, and covering court-related expenses is beyond what we can manage on our own. Your generous support will help us:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li>Hire an experienced criminal lawyer to guide us through the legal process and put pressure on the state to prosecute for murder.
</li>
<li>Fund an independent investigation to gather vital evidence.
</li>
<li>Ensure Pat’s case receives the attention and resources it deserves.
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>How You Can Help: </strong>
</div>
<div>Your contribution, no matter the size, will have a profound impact on our efforts to seek justice. Here’s how you can support us:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li><strong>Donate:</strong> Every dollar brings us closer to holding those responsible accountable.
</li>
<li><strong>Share: </strong>Help us spread the word by sharing our campaign on social media, with friends, and within your community.
</li>
<li><strong>Support: </strong>Keep our family in your thoughts and prayers as we continue this fight for the truth.
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Our Goal: </strong>
</div>
<div>Our aim is to raise $25,000 to cover the costs of legal fees, investigative work, and court proceedings. As a family we are committing the financial resources we can, but we understand that legal representation and an investigation can be very expensive. Transparency is important to us, and we will provide regular updates on how the funds are being used as we progress through this journey.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Justice for Pat: </strong>
</div>
<div>Patrick deserves justice, and with your assistance, we will take the necessary steps to ensure those responsible are held accountable. Together, we can make a difference. Thank you for your generosity, compassion, and support during this incredibly challenging time.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With all our hearts, thank you.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Mike Hayes, Matthew Hayes, Andy Hayes, SueAnn Kern
