- On the evening of June 12, 2020 Wynter's life changed forever. His mother, father, little sister, little brother, and uncle all lost their lives in a tragic car accident. Wynter is the only one left of his immediate family. The car accident was a tragedy in our small community. His entire world was flipped upside down by losing his family. Wynter is currently living with and being cared for by his maternal grand parents. This loss was a hard one for the entire family. I organized this go fund me account in order to provide anything Wynter may need in these next coming months while things are finalized.
