Robert Scales Family

Donation protected
On February 5th, our friend Robert experienced an unimaginable tragedy.  While at work, he received a call from a neighbor that his house was on fire.  He rushed home to find emergency responders had just arrived.  As quickly as help arrived and as hard as they worked, it was too late.  

This is a terrible loss for any family to endure when you lose your possessions and everything you own that makes your house a home.  As difficult as these things are to lose, they can be replaced.  On this horrible day, Robert lost what can never be replaced.  He lost his wife, Wanedia, and his three children, Xavier, Robert Jr., and Elijah.  

Many people have been asking what they can do to help, so we are creating this campaign to receive donations and provide updates on funeral information.  We also encourage you to leave messages of support.  There is a great financial burden in burial expenses and funeral services.  If you are able to help with a donation, please do.  It will take all of his extended family, friends, and community to provide the strength and love needed during his time of grief.  

Please join us in helping Robert celebrate the lives that ended too soon as he lays his family to rest and begins to rebuild his life after so much has been lost.
