The Schroeder-Smith Family

Hey, I'm Kelso, and I'm here to try to help the Schroeder-Smith family. Diane Lynn Schroeder, loving mother of Justin and Emmalee passed away on October 17th, 2021 after a long battle with cancer. And now her husband, Paul Smith, has succumbed to the same aggressive and debilitating disease. This leaves their two children Justin and Emmalee with much debt on top of the sorrow they must endure.

This family gave me so much strength when I needed it most. The kindness to get through the day, the strength to be who I want to be, and the wisdom to live my life to the fullest. I loved them as I would my own parents. Even as we grew apart, I still thought about them almost every day. Diane and Paul made a hugely wonderful impact on me while growing up.

My hope now is that all who knew Diane and Paul can come together to try to keep Emmalee and Justin afloat while they try to navigate such heartbreaking circumstances. I cannot imagine how it feels to lose both parents in less than 2 years. FUCK CANCER.

All proceeds will go toward Paul's funeral service, medical bills, previous debts placed upon the children, and debts necessary to keep the house for at least 3 months. I appreciate all the help you can give. If anyone is deserving of it then it's this beautiful family. Thank you so much for reading this and being here. If you can't give here then please reach out and let them know you love them.
