I’m at a loss for words for why this happens so often in Worcester. It’s an unspeakable tragedy for a man who was set to take his wife and 3 kids to Disney World today. There will be an outpouring of financial and emotional support for his family, because the community always rallies around heroes.
I’d like to use our platform to help in any way possible, I’m just not sure how we can do that. But I’m open to ideas. Jason’s sister is a friend of mine and a long time turtle rider and she is hurting right now. Their family needs our support, so I’m open to any and all suggestions. Feel free to reach out.
