For your consideration

Post by FJRfarrier »

Hello everyone. For those who didn't catch my post in the Complaint Department...

We lost a loved one early Friday morning. Horse/Mitchell's twin (technically triplet) brother passed away. He's 27 years old. He fought leukemia for the past 15 months, had a successful bone marrow transplant in February, and recently was home and doing well enough. Eating chicken nuggets and pizza and drinking his Dr. Pepper. He became an uncle on Thursday morning, a mere 24 hours before God called him Home.
It's not fair that he was just dealt the bad cards all the way through life. I'm sad I've only got to know him for the past 3 years. We are heartbroken that he won't be there in person for our wedding next year. And the worst part is, his parents have to bury another child.

As you can imagine, the expenses incurred have been unimaginable. We managed to get through the last year financially, but now we are in need of help to give Nathan the memorial and funeral that he deserves.

We thank you for the opportunity to ask you to please help us with any amount of donation to pay for these expenses. Every little bit helps.
We have set up a GoFundMe
And if that's not possible, we'd appreciate your love and support in any way possible. Prayers and good mojo sent our way are felt and appreciated.

Nathan absolutely LOVED NASCAR. A very avid fan of Jeff Gordon.

Took lots of pics for him of the Jeff Gordon Indian at Barber.

He enjoyed riding his 4-wheeler and recently his RZR.

Mitchell would drive and WOW! Better hold on! You could hear Nathan's laughter through the trees, and it was infectious.

Gotta love those nuggets and burgers...

He just received a new wheelchair on Tuesday. It was a fancy model, with headlights, turn signals, and a standing mode! Told him he'd be able to race us on the bikes now!

With all our love, Nathan. We can still hear the laugh.
