As we approach winter, we're also approaching two years since Sam's accident and passing. Anyone who knew Sam knew that he was a giver. He wouldn't just give you the shirt on his back, he'd make sure he went out of his way to sometimes travel out of the country or make hour-long road trips simply because someone needed him. He'd be there by you in the hospital when you were in need and he never strayed from walking a mile in someone else's shoes.
In honor of him, SEA Wireless is hosting a Winter Drive benefiting Hesed House of Hope in Lincolnton, NC. The community in Lincolnton was so dear to Sam and I thought it would be a fitting way for us to come together in his honor for a wonderful cause.
Donations can be dropped off during regular store hours at either SEA Wireless location through November 13, 2026:
📍 Lincolnton
633 Riverside Drive, Suite 101
Lincolnton, NC 28092
📍 Shelby
308 W Dixon Blvd
Shelby, NC 28152
