David Krug organized the fundraiser on behalf of Patrick Paladino with a message:
The Paladino family was struck with tragedy after a horrific accident resulting in the loss of their youngest beloved 2-year-old son Guy Wesley and severe injuries to his loving mother, Kaley. Kaley is being treated in the hospital for numerous injuries, and the family has much physical and emotional healing.
The money raised will be used towards the medical treatment of Kaley and memorial expenses for Guy Wesley. Guy Wesley was known for his relaxed, calm demeanor and ever-present smile, always up for a hug he could hold for hours. Kaley is known for her generous, loving spirit and family-first attitude.
The road ahead will be challenging, but they will persevere with friends, family, and God.
By this time, $28,240 of the $100,000 goal towards 323 donations was raised.
