On, April 26, 2025, Brittney and her 9-year-old daughter, Averie, experienced a devastating and life-altering loss with the sudden and unexpected passing of Brittney’s husband, Averie’s father, Jessee.

As Brittney begins to navigate this unimaginable reality as a newly single mother, she faces a long road of learning to live in a world that will never be the same again. In the midst of overwhelming grief, we are asking our community to come alongside Brittney and Averie with love, prayers, and tangible support.

This fund will help ensure Brittney and her family can prioritize remaining present with Averie and with one another, easing the added weight of worrying about financial coverage for memorial services and anything they may need in the coming few months. Every donation is a reminder to Brittney that she is not alone. She is surrounded by a community that sees her, supports her, and is here to walk with her through the hardest days.

Thank you for your kindness, your generosity, and your willingness to hold this family in your heart.

All funds raised will go directly to Brittney for family expenses, services, and ongoing care for Averie. If you're unable to give financially, please consider sharing this link and keeping Brittney and her daughter in your thoughts.
