Please help my sister honour her son Hayden.

Gone too soon, Hayden passed away suddenly at home in early December, just a few days before his 19th birthday. During her darkest hours his incredible Momma Rebecca immediately knew that she wanted to help give to people in need in honour of her beautiful boy.

In memory of Hayden my Sister has created this “Pay It Forward” Memorial Fund to help support other families with special needs children and for those who are suffering from severe disabilities themselves as well as not-for-profit organizations.

Our special needs community of friends and organizations has been invaluable to Hayden and Rebecca over the years. To thank them for their endless love and support, contributions made to Hayden’s “Pay It Forward” Memorial Fund will be directly gifted as financial aid, delivered meals or other surprises to lift the spirits of some deserving people in Hayden’s honour.

We are incredibly grateful for all the love and support that continues to come from all of you. Thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts. If you're interested in seeing how your donations have been helping so many, you can follow our regular updates. We still have so many more organizations and individuals to give financial contributions to.

Every donation here has helped and will continue to spread a lot of joy to those most in need.

I'd like to leave you here today with a few beautiful words by my Sister. Thanks so much for taking the time to be here today. We appreciate you.

Hayden was the light of everyone’s life. From the minute he was born he was my special little man. But in some ways he belonged to all of us. No one could brighten a room like Hayden could. His sweet and often hilarious chatter, big beautiful smile, and the smirkiest of smirks could make anyones heart swell. He had endless love for everyone who was a part of his life. He may not have been verbal but he spoke to everyone in his own special way. He couldn’t have been loved more by all. No matter what Hayden was going through he always could give a smile, especially to anyone blonde as we all know. He had many joys in his life, Elmo was his idol, he loved watching Disney with mama and aunt Laura. Loved Star Wars like his uncle Jonny and Star Trek with his daddy Brad. He loved water, the beach was one of his favourite places. His love for monkeys was pure and adorable, he loved animals and swimming and going on endless adventures. He loved music and going to the theatre and that was such a big part of our life together. He had his own special relationships with his peers at school, and loving teachers at school. He may not have been with us for a long time but was definitely here for a good time. He will be missed more than words can say but will always be with us in everything we do, as he was in life. Durdle durdle little man. Sleep tight.

Hayden + Rebecca
