right now, trillions upon millions of candles are being lit in prayer, fountains of tears are raining down love and healing upon Landen and his family, writers are wracking their hearts and souls to express what even thousands of lifetimes cannot express because there are no words, no song or poem, to touch the depth of grief and dystopic horror and compassion and helplessness and hope and faith and love that every mother—no, every one—must be feeling at this moment... And so, we write what we can. And we listen. And we let the words carry all the love and light that they were made to do... So, write the love, writers... write the love...
Help For Landen - Mall Of America Attack Victim
This is Landen, he is the sweetest kindest 5 year old you will ever meet. His soul is soft and gentle and instantly brings a smile to everybody he meets. He is full of energy and life and enjoys soccer, playing with friends and family and playing hockey with his brother and sister. He was enjoying a day at the Mall of America with his mom and friend on Friday morning when a stranger maliciously grabbed him and threw him over the 3rd floor balcony for no apparent reason. The family doesn’t know him and are completely clueless as to why this monster would target their family with this heinous act of violence. My wife and His mother have been best friends since they were 3 years old. They have grown up together, started their families together and truly have a lifelong friendship for the ages. Their family is always so generous to others, they give without expecting anything in return and are the type of family you always hope to live next door. Landen has a very long road to recovery ahead of him. He suffered life threatening injuries, many people who fall from that distance aren’t as lucky to make it. He has many surgeries ahead in his life to try to get back to a normal life for a young, vibrant boy. We started this GoFundMe for their family to help cover the immense medical costs and rehabilitation costs for the long ahead. Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedules to hear about their story.
