Salina311 has spoken directly with Heidi Black, and the following information reflects the confirmed and approved ways to support her family following the loss of her son, Carter Black.
In addition to the meal train and online donation options previously shared, Courtney Baker has established a memorial fund in Carter’s name at Bank of Tescott for those who wish to contribute without incurring online platform fees. This fund has been confirmed with the family, as well as a drop box at 154 S. 7th St.
Because misinformation and fraudulent fundraising attempts can sometimes surface during times like this, Salina311 wants to be clear:
These are the only confirmed and approved methods of support at this time.
Please do not drop off cash or checks at any other locations or through unofficial channels.
Salina311 is actively monitoring comments and posts and removing any that speculate, misidentify individuals, or direct people to unverified donation methods. Our goal is to ensure that support reaches Heidi Black and her family directly and safely.
If you are able to help—whether through a meal, a donation, or by sharing verified information—your support is deeply appreciated by the family during this time.
