Hello, I am one of the parents on a Northwest R-1 Soccer team that just suffered a great loss. One of our beloved soccer players unexpectedly passed away. We are just heartbroken right now, and I think when I say that, I can speak for all of the coaches, players, friends, and family members alike. Isaac Johnson is a very sweet soul that was taken from us too soon. This GoFundMe was established to help the family pay for medical and burial expenses. We can’t bring Isaac back, but maybe we can help lighten the load in another way by wrapping our arms around this family financially in this time of need and great sorrow.

I just wanted to take this opportunity to say, if you are fighting an internal battle that no one is aware of, please reach out, tell someone. There is help. We do care. You are loved. Help is just a phone call away. If you are in crisis, please call 911, Missouri Behavioral Health Response: 1-800-811-4760 or National Suicide Prevention Lifeline: 1-800-273-8255. In Missouri, you can text 988 and someone will talk you through the tough time you are having or get you the immediate help you need.

All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is our merciful Father and the source of all comfort. He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others. When they are troubled, we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us. 2 Corinthians 1:3-4
