Billy Joel was right.. Only the Good Die Young.

My mom's best friend Bridgette has been like a sister to her. Her real sister and she have had many-an-argument, and they go on-and-off speaking terms, (which annoys me, but it is what it is) and when it comes to mom's old friends, well.. they weren't really good friends at all. So, when she told me that she'd made a new friend, i prayed that this one would be a true friend, good heart, etc. Bridgette is all that I wished for and more. She's been absolutely great to our family, and now it's our turn to repay her.


Bridgette has two kids, Jordayn, who is a year older than I am, and Kyle, who was a freshman in high school this past year. Last night, Kyle, who has severe asthma, suffered from an asthma attack that put him into cardiac arrest and claimed his life. I know that my family is trying to help out as much as we can, but with my two online classes, two jobs, and working to save money for books next semester, plus a baby coming into our household within the next 3 days, If anyone can volunteer any time, money or anything else, even a lawn mower to make sure their lawn gets trimmed, that would be extremely helpful.


I'm not the coordinator for any of this, just someone who really cares about Bridgette, her husband Kai, and her daughter Jordayn. If you want to do anything, or volunteer, please call the "coordinator" Melissa West McCarthy at 1-570-764-5587. Literally anything that you can donate will help, and let it be known that there IS in fact a monetary need.


Thanks everyone, and please keep this family in your prayers.
