Austin’s Funeral Expenses

Donation protected
On May 26, 2018, the universe lost a beautiful soul but Heaven gained an incredible angel. Austin Maynard was a lively spirit, with a stubborn attitude and sweet smile. His presence lightened the air, and his laughter could fill your chest with hope. He was a young man at the age of 20, who was diagnosed with Huntington’s Disease at 19. Austin’s father Frank Blesedell Jr also passed away from Huntington’s. Huntington’s Disease attacks and breaks down nerve cells in the brain over time, and can cause symptoms such as forgetfulness, irritability, compulsive behavior, muscle loss and involuntary movements, as well as mental disorders such as depression and anxiety. Anyone who knew Austin knew that he loved his family above all, so to honor him, please consider donating to help his mom Amanda Maynard with the funeral costs. An unexpected death is hard enough on a family, they shouldn’t be burdened with wondering how they will give their loved one a proper burial. If you can’t donate at this time, please share this fundraiser so others can reach it, and never stop praying. Hold on tight to your loved ones, and remember to spread kindness. Austin is survived by his mother Amanda, step dad Brad Lightfoot - Corporal and veteran of the United States Army (Two tours in Afghanistan), brother Morgan, and sister Alexis.
