Stand With Dylan After the Death of His Mother and Sister

Help My Nephew, Dylan Douma, Rebuild His Life After Tragic Losses and an Unsuccessful Back Surgery.

In the span of just six months, my nephew Dylan Douma has endured unimaginable heartbreak. He lost both his beloved mother and his cherished sister—two of the most important people in his life. These devastating losses have left him emotionally shattered, with little financial support, and on the brink of homelessness.

Dylan is a kind, humble, and amazing man who needs our help. With no immediate family left to lean on and limited resources, he’s facing the very real possibility of losing the only place he has left to call home.

We’re raising funds to help Dylan cover the most urgent essentials:

Housing assistance to buy the trailer he is presently living in.

Basic living expenses (food, utilities, transportation)

Time to grieve and rebuild without the constant fear of displacement

Anything you can give—no matter how small—will go directly toward helping Dylan get back on his feet during this deeply painful and uncertain time. Even if you can’t donate, sharing this page would mean the world to us.

Thank you for your kindness, compassion, and support.

With gratitude,

Dr. June Terpstra, Dylan's Aunt
