Tyler Klassen was just 16 years old.  Like most teens, he was excited about the fact that he had just earned his driver's license.  Just two days later in a tragic turn of events, a cruise with a friend on a gravel country road turned deadly when the car he was driving veered out of control, striking a tree before coming to a stop.  As a result of the crash, both passengers sustained critical injury.  But it was Tyler's family who received the devastating news that his injuries were so severe, there would be no chance for recovery.

Even through unimaginable grief, Tyler's mom Lisa made the decision to donate his organs.  As a result, as many as 50 people will be the recipient of, in some cases, life saving tissue and organ transplants.

On top of dealing with the loss of her son, Lisa (who is a single mom) must now incur the cost of funeral expenses.  Family friends Doreen Dueck and Krissy Kerr have started a Go-Fund-Me page to try and raise enough money to ensure that Tyler's funeral will be covered, and that Lisa will not have to worry about any impending financial matters.
