Support Robert as He Honors His Mom, Letha
For nearly 14 years, Robert has been a steady, joyful presence at School of Rock Lubbock. As our dedicated drum instructor, he has mentored hundreds of students, not just teaching rhythms and technique, but encouraging confidence, creativity, and heart. He is deeply loved by our music community.
Right now, Robert needs us.
Over the past several weeks, he has been caring for his loving mother, Letha, during her time in hospice. Letha was a devoted Christian and a remarkable single mother who gave everything she had to raise and care for her children. Her life was marked by faith, resilience, and unconditional love.
As the last surviving sibling, Robert is now carrying the responsibility of honoring his mom’s life and covering the expenses that come with end-of-life care and funeral arrangements. Hospice costs and funeral expenses have created a significant financial burden during an already heavy season of grief.
We are creating this GoFundMe to give our community a central place to support Robert, the same way he has supported so many of us over the years.
If Robert has impacted you or your child, encouraged you through music, or simply brought joy to your life, this is an opportunity to give back. Any amount, big or small, will go directly toward:
• Hospice care expenses
• Funeral and memorial service costs
• Immediate financial needs during this transition
Most of all, we want Robert to feel surrounded by the community he has helped build.
Please keep Robert and his family in your prayers. If you’re unable to give financially, sharing this page would mean so much.
Thank you for helping us honor Letha’s life and support one of our own.
With gratitude,
