I WISH To Help Raise Money for Funeral Cost for 3 boys..

On Sunday January 24th, we stood helplessly as 3 boys, ages 7, 8 and 10 were pulled from the Sandusky River at Fremont Ohio. As we all prayed, hoped and wished and with each minute passing by we soon learned there was no hope, all three of these precious angels had gone to heaven.

I can not express enough, the sorrow felt by everyone. Each fire fighter, Emt, First responder... Seeing the momma run to her babies, it's just all so horrific. Each time a boy was found a fireman would remove his helmet and place it on his heart.

The mother of 2 of the boys was at work when this tragedy happen, imagine getting that call. Her boys were under the care of a relative. She worked 2 jobs to take care of her sons. The parents of all 3 children decided to have one funeral for all the boys.

They are struggling very hard with the costs of the funeral and burial. And I want to help them. I have $10.00 from the proceeds from a auction I had and would like to raise at least 100.00 to help in some way, and more if we can.

A fund has been set up at any Croghen Colonial bank in Fremont Ohio. I will post the links so that this tragedy can be verified by donors. It has also been picked up by the AP. I must warn you, to have a box of kleenex ready when you read. The funds will go to my pay pal and tomorrow I will take the first round of funds over. If you would rather not donate to my pay pal, I think you could call the bank.

Thank you for taking the time to read my wish for De'Ante, Jay'Den and Rafeal and there families. You can see that there are several videos about this at the links I posted. I wanted to use the boys photos but not sure of copy rights and all that, so I will leave it blank.

I am using my account to make the wish, that is why it says Tiffin Ohio. The families are from Fremont Ohio which is about 22 miles from me. My sister lives right at the water and we were visiting her at the time.

  I am so sorry that I did not get this marked as granted I didn't realize that I had not done it. The money was sent to the bank via debit card and I made one personal trip over with cash and checks. With the help of many heros and my family we were able to give over $250.00 to the families of these boys. Bless you all. Each of you should be very proud of yourself, you gave from the heart and I am truly grateful.

  I am so sorry about these children andtheir families and have had them in my prayers and I thought I asked for info to send a check to the fund but can't find so could you pm it

• TheFerstFamily 5 months ago

  We are now at 116.00 raised!

• TheFerstFamily 5 months ago

  I have also asked Dave (The WishMaster) if maybe this wish could be featured.

• TheFerstFamily 5 months ago

  We have raised 106.00 and have been pledged 85.00 (Those are going to the bank directly)
  I am going to leave the wish up, as I know that the families are going to need all the help they can get. The mother, Lacey of the two boys is not working of course and they have no income right now. As promised, as soon as I have the rec from the bank, I'll post it. Thank you all so very much, and please if anyone has any questions, just let me know!
