'We’re all very appreciative for everybody stepping up and donating to help raise money for this family. I mean they need help and you know they have a father to bury and really just need the help right now.'
Winston Van Winson has served as the football coach for 9-year-old Isaac over the last two years.
He said Isaac's family was living paycheck to paycheck as they tried to set down roots in a new country when the father of the family died unexpectedly. As the family copes with a devastating loss, the Murray community decided they wanted to help in any way possible. "A lot of that is to cover funeral costs," Van Winson said."It's pretty expensive and the husband needs to be buried in Nigeria as they're immigrants from Nigeria it's part of their culture."The community also gathered Tuesday night to show support for the family at a candlelight vigil.
