"I created this go fund me for my best friends family as they are going through a lot of stress, as his parents have taken work off to fight with they're son to push through this terrible disaster. I just want to show my friend that we all care and that we are all behind him through this. I wish the best for all of them and me, myself, I know I can't do this alone so I couldn’t imagine what his family is going through."
