My son Justin, his wife Ashley, and their children—Parker (8), Hudson (7), and Lauchlin (4)—recently went on a family vacation to Myrtle Beach during school break. What was meant to be a joyful time together turned into a heartbreaking tragedy on Tuesday, April 21. Lauchlin, our sweet and loving little boy, was involved in a terrible accident. He was first taken to a nearby hospital and then airlifted to a Children's Hospital in South Carolina, where he was surrounded by his family and grandparents who flew in to be by his side.

Lauchlin was truly cherished by everyone who knew him. His bright spirit and loving nature touched so many lives. Today, our hearts are shattered as we share that Lauchlin has earned his wings. The pain of this loss is unimaginable, and our family is struggling to come to terms with it while supporting each other through the grief.

We are reaching out for help as Justin and Ashley face overwhelming medical bills, travel expenses, and the loss of income from time away from work. Your prayers and any support you can offer will help this family on their journey back home and as they navigate this devastating time. Thank you for keeping us in your thoughts and for any contribution you can make to ease their burden.
