James is a devoted husband, a loving father to three beautiful children, and a dedicated elevator union brother and friend to many. This past weekend, James and his family experienced an unimaginable loss when his adolescent son, who loved Boy Scouts and trains, passed away in a terrible tragedy on March 14. The heartbreak has touched not only their family but also the many friends and community members who care deeply for them.

As James and his family begin the long journey of healing, they are facing emotional and financial challenges. James will need time away from work to support his family and to seek recovery therapy for himself and his loved ones. The road ahead will be difficult, but with the support of friends, family, and the community, they can find strength and hope.

Please keep James and his family in your thoughts and prayers during this incredibly hard time. If you are able, any donation—no matter the size—will help ease their burdens and show them they are not alone. Your kindness and generosity will make a meaningful difference as they navigate the struggles ahead.
