Please Help with Funeral Exspenses and More

Hello, My name is Alysa Goodwin and I am fundraising for Krista Row and The Hartranft Family.

A couple years ago, I was introduced to a little girl name Maddy Dawson (while coaching bball). She is the outstanding daughter of Krista Row and granddaughter of Donna and Brian Hartranft. Little did I know how awesome her mom and grandparents were! Anytime I saw Maddy I saw Donna and Brian. I swear they didn't miss any event for her! They were her biggest cheerleaders. Of course over time when you're coaching, you start building relationships with the girls, their parents and grandparents. There was never an event that Brian did not have me laughing and Donna telling him to stop it. Now this year, I will need to prepare myself not seeing Brian or Donna in the stands cheering for Maddy and our team.

On August 29 2022, Brian was called to heaven unexpectedly, while his wife Donna was in the hospital battling medical issues.

Donna was not able to attend the funeral and had to watch it virtually. If that isn’t heart breaking enough I am not sure what is. God had plans for Donna and called her home sooner than everyone expected. In the last 1 ½ months her lung cancer got aggressive, her white cell count dropped, she had over 7 blood transfusions and this doesn’t sum up everything she was battling. On October 12th 2022 not even two months after Brian’s passing god decided he needed her as well. I wonder how much Brian begged God to have his wife come join him?

As you can imagine this has been a difficult journey for the family. Losing a loved one is not easy.

We are raising money to assist with unexpected funeral costs, services, medical bills and time the family might have to take off of work.

Please feel free to share the go fund and donate.

You can also donate directly to the funeral home.
