HERE IS TODAY’S WISH UPON A STAR…
In a year that no family should ever have to endure, Kristina’s life took an unimaginable turn. Mother’s Day became a haunting memory when she tragically lost her 15-year-old son, Miles, in a devastating drowning incident at Ben Irving Reservoir. The grief pierced deep into her family, leaving them shattered and navigating an unfathomable loss.
“Living in a nightmare” doesn’t begin to describe the daily struggle. All siblings mourned the absence of a beloved brother, and Kristina grappled with the overwhelming pain of not only losing her son but also enduring the unraveling of a ten-year relationship. The family dynamics shifted abruptly, from a bustling household to a quieter, emptier one, where basic necessities became unattainable luxuries.
Kristina’s resilience stands as a testament to her strength as a single mother. Despite the daunting challenges of starting anew, she focuses on rebuilding their lives from scratch. The stark reality of lacking essentials like proper beds for her boys, a kitchen table to gather around, and even reliable transportation, weighs heavily on her shoulders.
Yet, amidst this darkness, rays of hope emerged as Brooke Communications, Rogue Credit Union, and a collective of generous partners rallied around Kristina and her family through the transformative ‘Wish Upon a Star’ program.
