Help Dakota Wetzel’s family with lodging n travels
Donation protected
Hello everyone. My name is Renea Francis. My best friend and her family are going through something no parents, sibling, or fiance should ever endure. Their son, brother, and future husband was shot in the line of duty on January 22, 2025. Officer Dakota Wetzel responded to the call that day. Officer Wetzel was shot in the top of the head. Through the prayer of God himself, Dakota is alive and is expected to make a full recovery. This is going to be a long hard journey for not only him but for his family. Dakota will remain at UPMC in Pittsburgh for the foreseeable future. Dakota and his family have asked all other proceeds donated to go to the family of Little Angle Rosalie and her family. Dakota who has a love for children would agree.
With some convincing, I can make this GoFundMe for the family for Hotel and travel expenses that they are enduring at this time. The drive from Wellsville to Pittsburgh and back is not cheap, along with the cost of the hotel by the hospital to remain right by their loved one's side. Can we join together and show this amazing family that we all care and want them to be able to stay by Dakato's side until he is well.
Kelly, Scott, Scottie, Kylie, and Dakota are more than friends. They are family to me. Please reach out with any questions.
