With humble hearts, our family is reaching out to the community that has always surrounded us with kindness and care.

Recently, our 15-year-old son was the intended target of a premeditated act that authorities have charged as attempted murder. By grace, and because someone had the courage to speak up, he is still here with us. We are especially grateful for the anonymous tip that helped protect him, a quiet act of bravery that made all the difference.

While we are deeply relieved, the emotional impact has been profound. Our focus now is helping him feel safe, supported, and able to heal.

He is working through trauma and anxiety, and we are committed to providing the counseling, care, and stability he needs to regain his sense of security and move forward with confidence.

Funds raised will help with:

• Trauma-informed counseling and mental health support for our son

• Medical care and recovery-related expenses

• Safety and security measures to help our family feel safe again

• Lost income and travel related to therapy, appointments, and court proceedings

• Academic support while he focuses on healing

• Relocation assistance if it becomes necessary for his well-being

We are doing everything we can to protect his privacy so he can maintain as much normalcy as possible among his peers. For that reason, we respectfully ask that this information not be shared with school-aged children without sensitivity to our need for discretion and care.

We are sharing only what feels necessary to protect his safety and well-being. If you feel moved to support our family, whether through a donation, sharing this page, or keeping our son in your thoughts and prayers, please know your kindness helps surround him with strength, comfort, and hope.

We are deeply grateful for this community and the love that continues to carry us forward.
