Tyler Dawson family fund

Donation protected
There's many larger than life people in this world. Tyler Dawson was definitely one of them!    Tyler had goals in life to achieve for his family and was on his way fast... A young entrepenuer without a formal education:  Tyler Dawson strived to make ends meet and provide for his family of 2 sons cameron (8),  elijah (2) as well as his wife Kaylee. His goal was to have a successful dog breeding business by 2020, and to move out of the south end louisville area to a much safer place to raise his children. But on the night of November 14, 2018 he was robbed, shot, and murdered on the front doorstep of his family's home by two young gunmen. This is a very recent and devastating event... This has left his family and friends in so much pain and uncertainty due to the circumstances of his premature passing. http://amp.wlky.com/article/police-respond-to-fatal-shooting-on-woodruff-avenue/25107931   Tyler was the rock of his family unit. He provided for all of them. He gave undying love and support, set goals and put them in the works for his children and wife's future.  He had many friends. And touched the lives of many people.  Tyler has left me two beautiful nephew's and a newly widowed sister of whom is now struggling to comprehend, cope, and figure out how to heal from these terrible recent events. As an uncle to my nephews and as a brother to my sister, it hurts alot  to see this happen to them. I am here to try and raise money for them and help try to relocate them to a much safer neighborhood. A goal that Tyler was trying to make happen by 2020 before his very recent passing.   It severely pains me to think my sister has to walk through the same door everyday where her husband was killed and has to relive the trauma of senseless bloodshed everyday. It pains me  to think my nephews will have to live in a neighborhood where they cannot be safe and play outside and live a normal childhood. I'm devastated to see them struggling to figure out what to do...  Tyler was a parent and a partner. But now he can no longer help watch his children. One of whom has autism and requires special attention. My sister cannot work and watch them at the same time... this has left her in a terrible bind of uncertainty as the weight of full custody and responsibility of a family unit is hanging over her head.  So I ask you the viewer to please donate to this cause. It means peace of mind for a family who has lost everything. And it will help achieve a life long goal of a man who was taken away much too early over senseless acts of gun violence. We are all in mourning at this abrupt loss.. I appreciate all who considered reading my story and can join me in the memory of persons lost much too soon. To the viewer thank you so much for your time, love, and consideration!  -Uncle Brent
