Holden's Story

"Unfortunately, Holden fell victim to a hate crime on June 20th, 2020 at around 11 pm. Holden was lured to the residence of another young man. This young man proceeded to physically torture and harm Holden for several hours until authorities arrived on scene. The culprit physically harmed Holden in ways that are unspeakable. Holden has severe lacerations to both wrist, stab wounds and lacerations to his neck and was found unconscious. He will need intense physical therapy, emotional therapy, many prayers and love. Any donations towards Holden’s recovery would be greatly appreciated, he has a long road of healing ahead of him. No donation is too small and if you are not financially able to donate prayers are equally as appreciated. God was with Holden and we know that God will continue to be with Holden through his recovery. -your big sister and forever friend. Sista loves you so much Holden and we will get through this ❤️" - Faith
