My son, Tyler “Scotty” Eudaley, has battled addiction for many years. Along the way, he journeyed across this great country—having adventures, making friends, and living life on his own terms.

But now, his body can no longer keep up. My sweet boy, and a friend to so many, is being called home to his Heavenly Father. We don’t know exactly when that moment will come, but until it does, I won’t leave his side. I was there for his first breath, and I will be there to hold him and love him through his last.

Right now, that means traveling from my home in Missouri to Oregon, and staying indefinitely in a hotel so I can be with him. As you can imagine, this is becoming financially overwhelming.

I’ve been encouraged to ask for help—something that doesn’t come easy—but any support you can offer will allow me to stay by Scotty’s side during this sacred time. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.
