FATHER AND SON MURDER TRIAL DATE SET! FAMILY NEEDS YOUR SUPPORT!
On January 14, 2023, 1:05 am, father and son Preston (38) and Evan (14) Wessling of Tow, Texas, were brutally murdered in their driveway. Cause of death multiple gun shot wounds, they were discovered by wife and Mother Holly Hayward who performed CPR until the two were pronounced dead on scene. Former Tow residents, 19-year-old Kyler Allen and Jordan Ostrander, were arrested and await trial. I cannot give out many more details because I will be a witness for the state testifying on the stand for the upcoming CAPITAL MURDER TRIAL set to begin FEBRUARY 10TH, 2025, IN LLANO, TEXAS.
I have started this GoFundMe because I realize it is beyond my abilities to provide everything for our two daughters since having their father and brother taken so tragically. We have experienced so much loss, so much grief, and so much change. Our youngest daughter, Zoey is 9 now, and there is so much I want for her, but sadly I financially don't have the means. As difficult as it is to admit needing help, I would take the embarrassment and so much more for my children's happiness. Sadly my health has been questionable, to name a few theres complications from my autoimmune disorders, chronic pain, spinal deformity, and now failing liver on top of everything else. I struggle with pain everyday.. I was recently hospitalized after receiving my test results my primary care physician insisted I go in immediately for more testing, medications, fluids and monitoring. There is more going on than I realized. Not just a standard Hashimotos flare, instead I'm showing signs that my there's substantial damage to my liver. I didnt understand when im not a drinker at all. Something about a fatty liver. After the holidays I will follow-up with the specialist and hope for the best.
Sweet Zoey is quickly outgrowing everything faster than anticipated this year. She wears size 14/16 in girls. Size 4 or 4 1/2 shoes. She really like Stitch from Disney's Lilo and Stitch. Also anything with Invader Zim or Wednesday(Adam's family) She is an amazing artist just like her sister Tessa, who I'm so very proud of.
We are doing the best we can, but with this time of year, the extra expenses start to add up. Every parents knows there's the holidays can be really expensive, somehow we are to afford the extra food and necessities, and then, of course, every child's favorite holiday, Christmas! I have to be honest, I have no idea what I'm going to do. I tried local and state benefit programs, and apparently, I make too much to qualify for anything but not enough to actually get by! I looked for months for reasonable housing for us to move; there are limited options, i found a tiny apartment thats more affordable but the costs to move in have been high. After the deposits and everything, theres nothing left for Christmas for my girls. At this point even food donations would be a huge blessing! My bank account is overdrawn and I'm not sure what to do..
Your donations would be a much-needed blessing, going 100% towards Christmas gifts and new clothes for our girls who are still grieving the loss of their father and brother. Our family is struggling to find justice and balance in a strange new world. I apologize for those out there that can't understand why I had to resort to this and will probably have negative things to say. I know it's asking for charity, and a lot of people don't believe that's something a person should do.. i dont think those people have ever been in a situation like this. I was told by a very wise man "closed mouths don't get fed". I just pray those who shame me are never put in a position where they had lost half their family, their partner, their child and nowhere else to turn when people were counting on them to not let them down.
If I've learned anything from losing my husband of 21 years, our 14-year-old son, my home, my lifestyle and my pride it's that there are still good people out there. I can't let the evil in some folks' hearts stop my family from asking for support from amazing people that find it in their hearts to help when others wouldn't. They are generous in a world of greed and heartbreak. There's still people out there that remind us there's still good out in the world.
I lost my partner, best friend and husband but also my precious son who meant everything to us. From the moment Zoey was born her and Evan were inseparable. He was her Bubba, her hero, her protector. Now it's up to me to give her everything she needs to grow up happy and healthy. Nobody will ever be able to replace or forget them.. we will keep their memories alive together.
My family thanks you for taking the time to learn a little about us and prays you have a safe Holiday season full of love and laughter. Thank you all, God Bless!
