Ke ulu nei au ma North Berkshire, ua hoʻohana au i ka manawa ma Florida Hills me koʻu makuakāne, ʻanakala a me koʻu hoahānau. E hele mākou i ka lawaiʻa i loko o ka loko wai a ʻohi i nā hua ma nā wahi like ʻole o ke kuahiwi. E kaʻa pū mākou ma luna o nā mauna a hiki i Charlemont e ʻauʻau ai i ka " muliwai anuanu ", ke haʻi aku nei au iā ʻoe, he anu. I ka hope o koʻu wā ʻōpiopio, i koʻu 18 makahiki, ua hālāwai au me kaʻu wahine i ka wā e hiki mai ana ʻo Amber (LaGess), i ulu aʻe ma Florida.
ʻO Gail ka makuahine o Amber (née Burdick) ke kaikunāne o Lynn Burdick. Ma ʻApelila 17, 1982, ua nalowale ʻo Lynn. Ma hope o ke kamaʻilio ʻana me Gale i kēia manawa, haʻi mai ʻo ia iaʻu aia ʻo Lynn i ke kula kiʻekiʻe i kona nalowale ʻana. ʻOiai noho mālie a hilahila, he puʻuwai nui ʻo Lynn no ka mea hoʻohana ʻo ia i kona manawa kaʻawale e komo i nā hana me nā poʻe o ke kaiāulu cerebral palsy. ʻO kekahi o nā hana āna e komo pū ai me lākou, ʻo ia ka bowling.
Ua haʻi mai koʻu makuahōnōwai kāne ʻo Harry iaʻu he lālā ʻo ia no kahi hui ʻimi a ke ʻimi nei ʻo ia iā Lynn ma nā wahi like ʻole o Florida. A hiki i kēia lā, ʻaʻole i hoʻoholo ʻia ka hihia o Lynn.
No ka loaʻa ʻana o nā pane i ka nalowale ʻana o Lynn Burdick, ua hoʻonohonoho ke kaikamahine a Lynn ʻo Debbie Davine i kahi hanana ʻohi kālā ma o Go Fund Me e ʻohi kālā i hiki iā ia ke kūʻai i nā hoʻolaha hoʻolaha a hōʻike i nā kiʻi a me ka kaulana o Lynn i ka lehulehu. Ma hope o nā mea a pau, makemake ka ʻohana e loaʻa kahi pani.
ʻO ka pahuhopu kālā o ka hoʻolaha Go Fund Me he $1,500. Hiki iā ʻoe ke heluhelu hou aʻe e pili ana i ka hanana ʻohi kālā a kaomi ma aneʻi e hāʻawi i kahi hāʻawi.
