Help Megan, Olivia, and Sam

My name is Brian, and I am fundraising for my amazing sister-in-law, niece, and nephew. My brother suddenly passed away on Sunday at the age of 41. He was a diehard Philly sports fan, who played every season for the Eagles drumline. A talented musician, his passion in life was teaching kids percussion and marching band. Most of all, he was a loving family man, a quality son, a caring brother, the fun uncle, and a respected teacher. His loss has been one of the hardest things any of us have had to deal with.

This is especially true for his family, and we have created this GoFundMe to help them during this difficult time. My brother worked hard so that his family never wanted for anything.

Megan, his loving wife, is a truly dedicated stay-at-home mom who has raised two amazing children.

There is Olivia, with her bright red hair, who is inquisitive, creative, and always with a smile on her face. She is passionate about art, speaks fluent Spanish, and excels at every school subject thrown at her. A truly exception kid.

And there is Sam, named for his great grandfather and grandfather. Energetic, enthusiastic, and an amazing sense of humor, Sam followed in his father's footsteps with his love of sports, video games, and music.

With his passing, they will need assistance with current and future expenses like rent, health insurance, food, and supplies for their two family dogs. Megan will need to start working, which means she will need to start paying for child care. Megan is also hoping to continue to put away a little money each month towards the kids' college funds.

We greatly appreciate any assistance you might be able to give. Every dollar will go a long way to getting them through the next few months.
