At only the age of 52 years old, Don Grine was hit by a car and left behind a loving wife and a beautiful teenage daughter. He was taken too soon. Don was a great friend to many, and an even better father and husband to his family. His sudden passing left his wife and daughter in shock, grievance, and financial hardships. He supported his family financially at the utmost level, working multiple jobs endlessly. Such a sudden loss has left his family in dismay and in need of financial help.

Cyndi Grine has been serving the New Haven Unified School District for over ten years. She might not have the title of a teacher, but she definitely has the qualities of one. As a paraprofessional expert, she knows exactly how to help children. She's packed with friendly guidance, practical tips, and respectful services to teachers, parents, and especially students. Despite everything, she has a heart filled with love, care, and patience. Throughout these years, Cyndi has been the backbone of each teacher she worked with.

Although nothing will be able to fill this infinite void we have all been left with, we ask that you consider helping his wife, Cyndi, and his daughter, Chanel, out in this very devastating time. In lieu of flowers or other gifts, please fund this account. Anything is appreciated. Thank you very much.
