Update everyone from my end at least! 
We were able to contact Mrs Danielle and Drake today a few minutes after the Fiesta Bowl organizers FaceTimed him! FB has REALLY stepped up, they are covering everything but the flights, spending money, and rental car!!!! Thank God and dedicated Tiger and Knights fans!!! 

Thru FB our little soldier will be attending not only the game as the “FB MVP” but also a NBA and NHL game, as well as being the MVP for their FB parade! 

That said, let’s keep up the Lords work! Like Benton said this GFM will also be much more than enough for the FB trip, but will enable us to give the remainder to the family for medical expenses, food, Cmas presents, or whatever they want. 

Like Benton I dove into this head first with no net, and have been absolutely floored at the response! While hoping for just enough to scrape a young man and his parent to a bowl game, we’ve been able to accomplish much much more! His whole family will be able to enjoy this time with Drake!!! In Mrs Danielle’s words “she can’t imagine having anymore tears to cry over what we’ve done”. 

Keep up the good work!!! I’d love to raise 10k plus on this GFM also! GEAUX DRAKE GEAUX TIGERS GEAUX KNIGHTS!!!


This right here is absolutely amazing! Great work everyone!

The numbers speak for themselves (combining the 2 GoFundMe campaigns): as of 12:30 AM on Saturday morning almost $20K raised from 614 people. After having my parents go through battles with cancer, I can state with certainty that every dime raised will help this family. Also, the family must be getting some comfort in seeing how many people are donating.
