Support Ms. Kris as Nathan joins their family!
Donation protected
Hi, I am a parent at Tampa Pinnacle Academy, a school for children with special needs.
I am fundraising on behalf of the entire TPA community for one of our incredible teachers, Ms. Kris. Ms. Kris and her family are making the ultimate sacrifice for one of our families.
Warren is the proud father of Nathan, a bubbly, energetic and super smart eleven year old boy who has special needs. Nathan is his father's whole world; it's always been just the two of them. Every day we see Warren light up when Nathan walks out of the school doors, big smiles and hugs before they hop into his convertible.
Last fall, Mrs. Kris was approached by Warren who was experiencing every parent's worst nightmare... a terminal disease, no family support and no plan for Nathan. Warren asked Ms. Kris to adopt his beloved son. Kris said yes without hesitation. She and her husband knew it was the best thing for Nathan to remain within his routine as much as possible.
This week, Warren lost his battle and passed away on Monday, May 13th.
Many things are unknown at this point in time. However, because Warren prioritized his son's care, Nathan is safe with Ms. Kris.
As things settle we will know more about the future. Right now, we would like to raise funds for a special education teacher who brought her student into her family at a time of crisis. Additional costs the family will incur include but are not limited to groceries, clothing, furniture, counseling and therapies, funeral/services, school tuition, summer camps, attorney fees to finalize custody and the many more unknown future costs.
If you are able to lighten the financial burden on this family during this challenging time our TPA community would be extremely grateful! Any amount helps. Let's wrap our arms around this amazing family and sweet boy!!!
