Connor Hess of Poughquag NY, Arlington High School student dies unexpectedly – GoFundMe
Arlington High School student Connor Hess passed away suddenly and tragically, leaving the town of Poughquag, New York, in deep sorrow. His untimely death has devastated friends, relatives, and the entire community. The Hess family, who have been a pillar of strength and kindness within the community, is receiving an abundance of support in the wake of this tragedy.
A GoFundMe account named “Supporting the Hess Family” was started by Roxan Plunkett with the purpose of raising $25,000 to help the Hess family with their unbelievable financial load. As of right now, the campaign has raised $20,660. The goal of the money is to lessen some of the financial strain on the family so they can concentrate on Connor’s recuperation by helping to pay for his funeral and cremation.
Plunkett’s moving comment on the GoFundMe website captures the overwhelming sense of grief that permeates everyone who was acquainted with Connor and his family. “Those of you who know the Hess family are aware that they will stop at nothing to assist you, your kids, or anybody else in need. They need your assistance right now. We must be there for the Hess family during their difficult time of having to bury their son, Connor.
Connor was a bright and active young man who made a lasting impression on everyone he came into contact with. One donor related a heartwarming story about how they first ever babysat Connor and his younger brother Dylan. As the oldest siblings, Connor and I stood by the sidelines, encouraging our younger brothers. Every time you saw him, you could never help but smile and laugh because he was such a wild child.
The Hess family’s warmth and generosity are demonstrated by the outpouring of love for them. “The Hess family has always been there for my family and I,” the same person wrote. Their hearts are pure gold. Not only do they not deserve this loss, but no one does.
In addition to raising money, the fundraiser hopes to unite the neighborhood in a show of love and support for the Hess family. Plunkett continued, “Please think about giving to this amazing family so they may concentrate on one another and not have any extra worry. Even if you are unable to contribute monetarily, it would still be greatly appreciated if you could share this fundraising with others.
The community’s fortitude is now needed by the Hess family, who are well-known for their unfailing support of others, during this extremely trying time. Donations to the campaign are still coming in, and many people have expressed their sincere sympathies and shared happy memories of Connor. The intention is to provide a family, who have given so much to others, a little peace and comfort.
Without a doubt, the love and support of Connor’s community will carry on his memory; as one person stated, they are coming together to assist the family in the same way that the Hess family has always done for them.
Donations can be made through the “Supporting the Hess Family” GoFundMe page, with all proceeds going to lessen the family’s financial burden at this sad time. The community’s message is unmistakable: even if Connor is no longer with us, we will always remember him.
