For Wendy Heckman
Donation protected
On Sunday afternoon, October 22, 2019, Sean McKenna suffered a fatal accident at his and Wendy's home in Salem, NH. He was 66.
Her friends are looking to raise funds for Wendy, his wife and partner of 43 years, as she and their daughters go through this difficult time.
From Wendy's daughter Heather:
"Friends, now it’s my turn to ask for help. We’re feeling the love and support of a lot of friends and family right now, and I have a difficult thing to ask during a difficult time. We’ve been trying to figure out how to keep the house afloat after my dad’s fall and death on Sunday. It looks like it’s going to be weeks or months before we have a cause of death on the death certificate; this means that my father’s life insurance, his individual accounts, and his retirement won’t be coming in, potentially for months. My mom relied on my dad’s income. We’re asking for help as a stopgap, and also imminently to pay for his funeral home and cremation expenses. If you’re in the position to help, anything is appreciated. And if you can’t, that’s all right too."
