This GoFundMe is for the parents of Aayden Hayes who's life was cut way too short.

On Wednesday, May 29th, at Red Caboose Park in Bellevue, a 13-year-old boy's life was tragically ended by an act of gun violence. He was a remarkable individual - athletic, kind-hearted, and respectful. He courageously attempted to shield his sister from harm, displaying his bravery and love for his family in the face of senseless violence.

I have organized this fundraiser with the intention of providing some support to Hope Leach, and her husband John the grieving mother, and father in their time of greatest need. They are compassionate,dedicated, and hard working parents who are now facing the most unbearable loss a parent can endure. This initiative aims to offer assistance with funeral costs or any other necessities that may alleviate their burden during this heart-wrenching period. Your contributions, no matter the size, will undoubtedly ease some of the burden they're carrying.
