Help Missy Rebuild

On August 7, my sister Missy’s entire life changed in a matter of seconds.

She and her husband, Lee, were in a devastating motorcycle accident. They were both seriously injured. Missy survived and is still recovering from her injuries, but Lee never recovered. He passed away on September 4.

Now Missy is trying to heal physically while grieving the loss of her husband at the same time. She isn’t able to work right now and has no income coming in. But the mortgage, utilities, groceries and everyday bills haven’t stopped.

She needs help now.

Anyone who knows Missy knows she has always shown up for others, helping with countless benefits and fundraisers for friends and family. Now it’s our turn to show up for her.

In just a few weeks, she went from living her normal everyday life with her husband to recovering from a serious accident, losing Lee, losing her income and trying to figure out how she is supposed to move forward from here.

We can’t take away what happened or make the grief any easier. But we can come together and make sure worrying about how she’s going to keep a roof over her head, keep the lights on or buy groceries isn’t another burden she has to carry right now.

If you can donate anything at all, please do. Even a small amount adds up. If you aren’t able to donate, please share this as much as you can.

Our family thanks all of you for your support

Right now, Missy needs us. ❤️
