Our Story

His name was Lochlin, he was 5 years old and the most beautiful, loving young boy anyone could ask for. This was also the first time that we had ever heard of Sepsis being linked to the Flu. On Friday, January 17th, 2020 Lochlin came home from school complaining of leg cramps and a headache. Saturday he was tired with a low-grade fever and some minor body aches. By Sunday he was feeling much better and was up playing with his brothers until Sunday night he took a turn for the worst. We took him to urgent care where he was diagnosed with Influenza Type A and mild dehydration. Monday afternoon January 20th, 2020 he passed away from Flu – Sepsis. He was one of 9 in Frederick county in 4 weeks. At Love For Lochlin, we protect as many people as possible from the flu and other infectious diseases like it. L4L continues to coordinate clinics with our local health department, Frederick Health, FCPS, local organizations, and MD State Dept to see that those who need their access to covid-19 resources have them.
