“I am writing this today with a heavy heart but also with hope,” Phillips wrote. “Our society has made it so easy to judge an individual or a situation with social networks that it is always just an opinion. Please, always remember that this individual can be very special for many other people. Can you imagine what your loved ones are happening and carving? [sic] I know this young man very well and I know he is very strong, but he is also fighting for his young life. Be considered during this tragic time. “
Phillips said donations “will help with any medical invoice and financial difficulties that this family is experiencing at this time.”
