Our hearts are heavy as we come together to honor the life of Carter Waters, a senior at Gale-Ettrick-Trempealeau High School. Earlier this week, Carter tragically passed away, leaving behind a grieving family, friends, and classmates who loved him deeply. Carter was at such a meaningful milestone in life—his senior year—filled with hopes, dreams, and plans for the future. His loss is being felt in ways words simply cannot express.

During this incredibly difficult time, friends of the family have come together to organize this fundraiser to help support Carter’s family with the unexpected expenses that come with such a sudden loss. Funds raised will go toward funeral expenses, loss of wages, counseling, and other financial burdens the family is now facing.

If you are able to give, no amount is too small. If you are unable to donate, please consider sharing this fundraiser and keeping Carter’s family in your thoughts. Let’s come together to surround this family with love, compassion, and support when they need it most.
