Tanya Trueblood is organizing this fundraiser on behalf of Brianna Miller.

• Created July 5, 2020

On 4th of July 2020 Brendon was struck by a vehicle on his way to work. After being life flighted to Kansas City it was sadly determined that he would not make it. Though he was able to save three lives with his organ donation he was far too young to be lost. He has left behind a wife, a four-year-old daughter, and a baby on the way in about nine weeks. Anything and everything helps Shelley through this difficult time. All money raised will go to Shelly for funeral expenses medical expenses and bills. Thank you to all who have shared and donated so far and thank you as well for your continued prayers for this family.
