Max Riley Burkhart Fund

Donation protected
In this world we have life...but we know that wherever we have life, we will also have death.  We accept death as a part of life when it strikes those that are old and uncapable or to those who have chosen to behave recklessly.  However, there is one death that we can never accept; that is the loss of a child.

15 year old Max Riley Burkhart is the only son to Mindy Finch and Austin Burkhart.  On the night of January 29th, overcome by depression Max attempted to take his own life.  Through proactive and life saving measures by friends, family, and police, Max was resuscitated back to life.  In the past several weeks family, friends, a great team of doctors and nurses, and Max himself have fought valiantly in the struggle to regain consciousness along with basic self sustaining body functions.

It is with much dispair that we have reached a place where we now know that this will not be possible for Max.  A great fight for life was fought, but it is time for the fighting to end.  It is with this news that the Max Burkhart Fund has been established to pay for the final expenses of a beautiful, brilliant, and bubbly young man. 

Thank you to all those who have expressed care and concern along with your prayers.  We thank you for your continued generosity. God Bless,
