LEE TWP., Mich. — The family of Brentyn Allen Combs-Easterday, 1, is still in need of help to pay for a funereal after the infant was killed in a freak accident.
As of Saturday, the family’s GoFundMe page has only raised $2,795 of its $9,000 goal. Co-workers of the boy’s mother, Mandi Combs, have pledged to donate $1 of every purchase made through the deli at the Marathon gas station in Pullman to cover funeral expenses.
The boy was killed after being hit by a pick-up truck driven by his grandfather. Police said the boy’s grandparents were babysitting while his mother Mandi was at work. Brentyn got away from his grandmother for a moment and was hit by his grandfather, who was moving the truck and didn’t know the child was nearby.
The photo attached was taken the day before the accident happened, according to the GoFundMe page.
