Dream Team: The Shear Family

Just one day after giving birth to a beautiful baby boy, McKenzie Shear of Richfield, Utah, tragically passed away due to a rare blood disorder. She left behind a young family and a husband, Cassidy, who has now become the sole caretaker to the children, including his newborn. He does all this while working a full-time job. 

After such a devastating loss, Cassidy is deserving of every ounce of help he can find. That’s where the Mountain America Dream Team comes in—we wanted to help lighten his load. Not only did the team provide him with enough diapers and formula to last at least a month (it’s a lot!), they also paid his mortgage payments through the end of the year! 

Check out the video to see how the Mountain America Dream Team surprised him while he was at work.
