One week ago the Michigan family lost Molly Lillard, once known to us as volleyball star Molly Toon. We have been asked by friends of the family to help them meet their GoFundMe goal of $55,000 for the support of Molly’s 8-month old baby boy, Isaac, as he transitions to be cared for by Molly’s sister Kirby and her husband Michael.
Lillard is the daughter of former NFL star Al Toon.
