Story
Sam is one of the most honorable, hard-working men I know—a devoted father, a loyal friend, and the kind of person who would give you the shirt off his back without a second thought. He’s spent his life doing the tough, blue-collar work that keeps our world running, all while holding true to his values: honesty, integrity, and quiet strength. Sam’s heart has always been with his family, and his greatest joy has been raising his 8-year-old son, a bright, kind child who adores his dad.
Tragically, Sam recently lost his beloved wife—a loss that no words can truly capture. Her passing has left a deep and painful void in their lives. As Sam navigates this heartbreaking time, he now faces the overwhelming task of raising his young son alone, all while grieving and trying to keep their lives steady. I’ve started this GoFundMe as his dear friend, with the hope that we can come together to support Sam and his boy in the way he’s quietly supported so many of us over the years. Every donation will go directly toward helping them with living expenses, counseling, and providing stability in this devastating time.
