Support Heather's Family Through Tragic Loss

Donation protected
Hi, my name is Colleen and I am fundraising for my sister, Heather, and her family.

On Saturday June 8th, we were notified that Heather was in a horrific car accident. She was in the car with her two sons, Tommy and AJ. Heather was rear ended as she was slowing to make a left hand turn. The impact was devastating and Tommy’s injuries were fatal.

The driver of the other car fled the scene by foot but was later found and taken in by officers. He is being charged with 4 felony counts along with several other charges.

Heather and AJ suffered minor injuries but the loss of Tommy will forever have their hearts in pieces. Heather, Steve, and AJ will grieve him for the rest of their lives.

For those of you who were lucky enough to know Tommy know how special of a kid he was. Kind, caring, SO smart… a gentle soul. We are all SO lucky to have been blessed with him in our lives.

Heather and Steve will need to be away from work while they move forward with next steps. All funds raised will help cover funeral services, medical bills, and day to day expenses while they navigate through the most trying times of their lives.
