On this Memorial Day Weekend we are faced with the Upcoming 1 year anniversary of Ian's death. Being Born on May 28th, Memorial day weekend has always been a celebration of Ian's Birthday. Last year, 1 week after his Sweet 16, he was called home to Heaven. Ian fought an EPIC battle here on Earth against Recessive Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa. On June 7th, 2014 he gained his Angel Wings. Finally free of the earthly pain and suffering of #EB.
The church where Ian was laid to rest gave the family 1 year to produce a headstone. That time is upon us now. The emotional, financial and physical hardships the family has endured this past year have been devastating. They are facing enormous hardships and the have not been able to save the money for Ian's Headstone. The weight of this alone is destroying his mom, Delicia. Ian was an inspiration to all who met him, and his legacy continues still today. He deserves a headstone memorializing him. He was an Honorary Fire Chief in multiple stations, and was a major inspriration and uniting force to firefighters across the world!
As a close personal friend of the family and also as an EB mom, I am asking you to Please help us make this right and give Ian the Memorial he deserves on this Memorial Day weekend!
Thank you!
