Kenny Martin Funeral Expense
Donation protected
Kenny Martin was an amazing, young 22 year old kid loved by many many people. Kenny began having medical issues a few years back that ultimately led to him needing a double lung and liver transplant. His parents, Donnie and Rhonda Martin had to overcome a ton of obstacles to get that surgery arranged for him. They live in Illinois but had to obtain a temporary, second home in Pennsylvania so they could be by his side for the journey he would be going through. Donnie made the trip from Illinois to Pennsylvania multiple times during Kenny's recovery to work and keep their permanent home maintained. Although this put a strain on them mentally, physically and financially, they maintained a positive attitude for their son. Kenny had a rough start initially but eventually improved and had even spoken his first words in months recently... They were "Hi Dad".
Unfortunately, Kenny unexpectedly caught a fungal infection which went to his bloodstream and he lost his battle on November 30th.
As you can imagine, they are devastated. Donnie and Rhonda literally gave everything they had to help their son fight his battle. They are now tasked with packing up their temporary home and moving everything back to a home without their beloved son. They also need to plan and pay for a funeral. These two need some support. They have given all they have during this heartbreaking journey. On behalf of all of us that love them, we are asking for any help you can give to assist with paying for Kenny's funeral.
Thank you so much.
