Ellen is my very good friend, and she’s going through something no parent should ever have to face. Her son Owen was an amazing person, loved by so many, and he was taken from us way too soon. He was also an incredible friend to my son Evan during a very difficult time in his life, always showing so much care and kindness. The shock and pain of losing him has left Ellen and her family heartbroken, and right now, they’re trying to find their way through the unimaginable.

In addition to the emotional toll, Ellen and her family are facing unexpected expenses for the funeral and the costs of daily living. I want to help ease some of that burden so they can focus on healing and remembering her son. Every little bit helps, and your kindness will make a real difference for Ellen as she navigates this difficult time.

If you’re able to support Ellen and her family, it would mean so much. Thank you for reading, sharing, or donating—your support brings comfort and hope when it’s needed most.
