Rhet Tucker Memorial and Celebration of Life

Hi my name is Kristen Lapenta and I am Rhet's second sister. Our families have been so close for as long as I can remember. On June 23, Rhet lost his battle for a new liver at Mass General. He had spent over a month in the hospital fighting bravely for his life until the very end. Read about Rhet's journey these past few months here.

We all lost a friend and family member much too soon. I have started this fundraiser to help raise money in remembrance of Rhet and to help support his dad, Bob Tucker, and his sister Jessica Tucker Unruh, with expenses. Funds raised will go toward paying for Rhet's remaining medical bills, a memorial space in Ellington's Arbor Park, and the Celebration of Life (see below). Any leftover money will be donated to the Massachusetts General Hospital Liver Center in Rhet's memory.

Thank you to everyone who has been so supportive of Rhet and his family through this difficult journey. Any amount donated will be greatly appreciated and put to good use to help celebrate and remember our good friend who will be missed by so many.
