We are so saddened to share that one of our amazing Stars mothers has passed away.
Isaiah’s mom, Laura, was always participating in anything she could and helping out Gliding Stars of WNY with fundraisers. She was Isaiah’s primary caregiver and number one fan. She never missed a skating practice or ice show and lit up every room she came into!
Isaiah is currently being cared for by a relative that has two young children as well as a baby due in February. We would love to help Isaiah and his new caregivers!
We are posting a link to the GoFundMe that has been created https://gofund.me/afc30459 we will also have other ways to help coming soon!
