Kera, Oliver, Ora, and Forrest are facing an unimaginable loss after the sudden and unexpected passing of Raymond, devoted husband and loving father, on June 15th. Raymond was the pillar of strength and guidance for his family, always encouraging his children to persevere, be kind, and rise above challenges. His absence has left a void that can never be filled, and his family is now navigating a heartbreaking new reality without him. Close friends have come together to organize this fundraiser to support Kera and her children during this incredibly difficult and uncertain time. In the immediate days and weeks ahead, they are facing unexpected expenses, emotional strain, and the challenge of caring for three children through what should have been a joyful summer. Your support will help ease the financial burden, provide for daily needs, and bring a sense of stability as they begin to rebuild their lives. The need is urgent. Kera and her children need our help now more than ever as they face this sudden loss and all that comes with it. Raymond taught his family to keep their chin up and to rise when life knocks them down. He found his greatest joy in his family and would want nothing more than for them to be safe, supported, and able to move forward with strength. If you’re looking for another way to help, please consider signing up to provide a meal or sending essential items through the wish list soon-to-be linked on this page. These small acts of kindness will make a big difference in supporting Kera and the kids day-to-day. Thank you for showing up for this family during such a difficult time. 💛
