Lakota West family turns heartbreak into hope

After losing their son Matt to a rare brain condition, the Stratman family from Lakota West transformed unimaginable grief into a powerful force for good. The Matthew J. Stratman Foundation now supports local athletes with scholarships, helps families facing medical crises, and even provides meals for students in need. Each year, the community rallies at a golf tournament to remember Matt and keep his spirit alive. It’s incredible to see how one family’s tragedy has sparked so much generosity and connection. How do you think communities can best support families facing sudden loss? #Relationships #LakotaWest #StratmanStrong
