Support Johnny Hodges After Tragic Loss

Hello, I have been a long time friend of the Hodges/Nadora Family. Our two sons have gone to school together since they were 5 years old and are now 14. My son's best friend, Johnny Hodges, tragically lost his dad this past Saturday July 13, 24, to a heart attack. He was only 37 so it was completely unexpected. Johnny's dad had been diagnosed with Sickle Cell Disease, which made it difficult to work at times and he did not have life insurance.

Sadly, Johnny was the only person with his father when he had his heart attack and had to be the one to call 911. I can't imagine being 14 and experiencing such an tragic situation.

Until now, Johnny had been living at home with his Great Grandma and his father. Unfortunately, his mother, Katrina, is unhoused and has been living at a local church in Oakland, as seen on a local news segment for the overnight parking program. Johnny is currently staying with friends until a permanent resolution can be figured out.

This kid is so kind and sweet. He is amazing at soccer, super smart and so brave! Please support any way you can. He is in a tough spot as you have read. ALL proceeds will go to Johnny and his mother to support Johnny's future and help provide assistance where needed. Thank you for rallying behind and supporting an Oakland teen and his single mother in their toughest time of need. You are deeply appreciated.
