<div>On August 26, Steve fell while assisting a friend with a construction project. The fall caused severe misalignment and fractures in his upper spine, requiring emergency surgery.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Steve is currently recovering in the ICU and faces a long road of rehabilitation. His family remains hopeful that, with time and rehabilitation, he will regain the ability to walk and return to a high quality of life.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As Steve begins this long recovery, his wife, Christy, will need significant in-home assistance to help care for him and manage the demands of his recovery. The cost of this care has been quoted at approximately $12,000–$15,000 per month, creating a substantial financial burden for the family on top of the many other unexpected expenses they are facing.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Funds raised through this GoFundMe will help cover expenses not covered by insurance, including in-home assistance for Christy and Steve, modifications to their home, and equipment and tools to assist with Steve’s mobility and independence.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for your generosity!

</div>
<div>What an amazing out pouring of love and support for the Earlywines. Thank you. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Now that it’s been over a week since Tom’s passing, the extent of financial realities for Jenny has become much more clear. And, it’s so much more than anticipated: loans, mortgage, credit debt, and healthcare costs are overwhelming. While the amount raised is quite substantial, it doesn’t cover the expected costs. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Please, I ask that you share this link, post it on your social media, reach out to friends, and support Jenny, Peter, and Sally in any way possible. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As many of you know, <strong>Tom Earlywine suddenly passed away from a heart attack on Tuesday, June 16, 2026.</strong> The shock and sadness have rocked all who knew and loved him and his family.



</div>



<div><br />



</div>



<div>He leaves behind his loving wife, Jenny, and their amazing children, Peter, age 12, and Sally, age 6. Now, the family faces an incredibly challenging journey. The financial, emotional, and physical demands are significant, and very overwhelming. As their friends, we want to do the best by them and their future. <strong>To ensure stability for the family, we invite you to support them in any way you are able. </strong>The funds raised will assist with immediate costs, daily living expense, and, hopefully, with educational expenses down the road.



</div>



<div><br />



</div>



<div>Please help Jenny, Peter, and Sally as they navigate these uncertain times. Any support, regardless of size, is greatly appreciated, and will make a lasting impact. Thank you for showing that they are not alone. And, that our communities support and love them.



</div>

</div>



<div>Please share this page with others, who know and love the Earlywines.

Helping the Earlywine Family Through Tough Times

<div>Hi Everyone,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>On behalf of our dear coworker and friend Judah. As many of you know, Judah is currently in the ICU, and while we’re still uncertain of the outcome, we want to come together as a community to support him and his family during this incredibly tough time.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Judah is one of the most lively, kind, and caring people we know. He’s always the first to lend a hand or share a smile, and now it’s our turn to be there for him. We’re setting up this GoFundMe to help cover his medical expenses and provide some financial relief to his family as they navigate this difficult period.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Any contribution, no matter the size, will make a meaningful difference
</div>
<div><br />
</div>

Help Judah Through This Tough Time

<div>On what should have been the happiest day of their lives, Firefighter Matt Okula experienced the unimaginable. His beloved wife, Hailey, passed away due to complications from childbirth, leaving behind their beautiful newborn son, Crew.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Matt and Hailey’s journey to parenthood was not easy. Matt shared:

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Hailey’s strength was unparalleled. Words can't describe how badly we wanted to be parents. After years of infertility struggles and a long, challenging IVF process, we were overjoyed to be expecting Crew. Hailey faced every hurdle with so much courage and love—even though her body went through so much, she never wavered.”  I will never forget the moment I broke down, apologizing for the toll the process would take on her. She held my face, looked into my eyes, and said, “We are a team, and we’ll get through this together.” That was Hailey. A fighter. A teammate. A woman who would do anything for the people she loved. 

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>They faced every challenge together, determined to build the family they had dreamed of for so long. But in an instant, that dream was shattered.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Now, Matt is left to navigate life as a single father while grieving the love of his life. The nursery they built together is no longer a shared refuge but a place of both love and heartache. The late-night feedings, diaper changes, and endless adjustments of new parenthood are his burden alone.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Matt is not one to ask for help—but those who know him, especially his brothers and sisters in the fire service, know the kind of man he is. A man who has dedicated his life to protecting others. Now, it's our turn to protect him.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>How You Can Help

</div>

<div>We are asking for support to help Matt focus on what matters most—grieving, healing, and bonding with his son. Your generosity will help cover:

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Funeral and memorial expenses for Hailey

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Household bills and utilities during this difficult transition

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Future baby supplies and childcare for Crew

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Time off work so Matt can be present for his newborn son

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>This isn’t about charity—it’s about duty, about standing by one of our own when he needs us the most. As firefighters, we never leave a brother behind. As a community, we step up when our family is hurting.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Every dollar raised will give Matt the space he needs to begin the long road to healing and ensure that Crew is surrounded by the love and security Hailey dreamed of for him.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>If you can’t donate, please consider sharing this campaign so we can reach as many people as possible. Matt and Crew are not alone—we will carry them forward, together.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and support.

Monica Van Laer was brutally taken from us Nov 2nd 2014. This site is not to think about how she left us, but instead to help keep the memory of how amazing Monica is  alive. Monica was a self proclaimed nerd, I mean, a straight up geek. Which is why we all loved her so much.  She did not see boundaries but instead challenges, and she succeeded, no- dominated, at everything she  aspired to do.  One of the biggest contributing factors in molding Monica to be as awesomely nerdy as we all remember her, was the St. Helens Highschool Band and St. Helens Highschool Drama clubs that she was a part of. While participating in these groups she  found her original chosen family. As well as her love her theater, music, and all things " out of the ordinary". Because this time in her life was so dear to her heart, we have asked that instead of gifts or flowers, please make a donation to the SHHS Band and Drama clubs. All proceedes will be split and donated to these programs in Monica's memory. <br /><br />Monica is fucking awesome, just a straight up: one in a million, you gotta meet her, take the shirt of her back for anyone kinda girl. We are all so privileged to know that she loved all of us too,  but maybe not as much as we loved her. She has made such an impact on all of us, whether you knew her for a second or a lifetime, her mark has been made. Please help us make an impact for some other kids, ones that grew up dreaming of bigger things, just like Moni. Maybe together that kid could grow up only to be half as cool as Monica L. Van Laer.

In Memory of Monica Van Laer
