BEND, Ore. – Through a representative, the family of Kaylee Sawyer issued a statement Monday informing the community that the fundraising page and bank account fro Kaylee is being closed. The family in the statement thanked the community for its outpouring of support during the family’s difficult time.
Below is the statement, in full, released by the Destiny Search Project:
“Over the past weeks, since Kaylee first went missing the community, near and far have come together to show support to her family. From being on the ground searching in the early days, the candlelight vigil the night we learned of her passing, to the incredible turnout for her memorial.
“The family continues to thank everyone for the support, blessings, and prayers. They have been unimaginably helpful in this difficult time.
“The community also came together to provide food, donations, and other items to help in support of Kaylee’s family. We know that many are still willing and wanting to help. At this time though the best way is to continue to share stories, memories, and love with her family.
“The family at this time will be closing the GoFundMe account and also the account through the bank. There may come a time in the future where support again may be needed as things progress and the family also looks at ways to best celebrate Kaylee’s memory.
“Again, the family would like to thank everyone that has been a part of this in any way.”
