My name is Pam Butler and am a close friend of a family that is in need of help.

The day after Christmas tragedy struck this family. Troy Westphal lost his life in a car accident in the early morning fog. He leaves behind his son Lance "Bugsy" Westphal who will soon be 4 years old and his fiancé Hailey Sloan. In September this year Troy lost his dad and Lance "Bugsy" lost his Papa. Troy was an amazing dad who dedicated his time to working with Bugsy who is autistic, with the help from his specialist to ensure that Bugsy was getting the attention and support he needed.

With this added expense especially after the Holiday season any help would be greatly appreciated for this family in need.
