Hi, my name is Katy, and I am fundraising for my good friends, Bill & Lea, who I've known for over 15 years. We have spent many good times together, such as celebrating New Years Eve, watching and rooting for the Vikings, playing yard games, card games, and so much more. Our families have grown close, and we have shared lots of laughs and love over the years. We are all praying for Bill's safe return home to Minnesota.

While vacationing, Bill left his hotel room in South Miami Beach to go for a walk, on or about January 23, 2024. He has been missing ever since. There have been no clues thus far about his whereabouts and is still missing.

His wife Lea, has been working with local police, news, media and social media platforms to sound awareness of his situation and hopefully provide any news or evidence of his whereabouts. Lea has also decided to stay in South Beach and not leave without her husband. This has put a tremendous strain on her, her children, her family, loved ones and all who love him. This also means that she will be taking up temporary housing until his safe return. Monthly apartment costs, flights for family to travel back and forth for support and help and everyday costs of living have overwhelmed and burdened the family with these unexpected expenses.

All of this money will be used for any and all expenses incurred for the entire duration of Lea's plight. Your donations will ease at least some part of the stress and pain until Bill's final return to all of his loved ones.

Thank you for your support and please keep Bill and Lea and all of their family in your thoughts and prayers.
