After hearing about the loss of Jashua, I knew I wanted to provide support in any way that I was able to Renee + his family. There is a meal train, go fund me account, and a fundraiser at to check out — I wanted to provide yet another avenue of support for the most challenging, tragic time, in Renee’s life.
For those of you who may not know, Jashua’s life was suddenly taken in an accident last week. He was truly a staple in the Enfield community, and built such an amazing life for him + his family with . This is such a huge loss for this community, and even more so for Renee and his two young children, and this seems like the least I can do to help support.
If I was the one walking in Renee’s shoes right now, I would only hope that others in the community would be able to help in any way they possibly could. I hope my little corner of the internet can come together, one $25 raffle entry at a time, to be able to provide Renee + the kids a big helpful check in two weeks. Every single little bit counts!
