Assist Emma and Family in Their Time of Need

Hello, my name is Kailey Bennett, I am reaching out to you during one of the most difficult times of our families lives. On March 3, 2025, our mother, Cristen Troop, passed away unexpectedly. While my siblings and I are still processing this heartbreaking loss, my brother, Brandon & I are also trying to figure out how to best support our 10-year-old sister, Emma, who is now facing a life without the woman who cared for her most.

My sister is understandably devastated, and as her older sibling, I am doing everything I can to make sure she has the love, stability, and care she needs. However, I know I cannot do this alone. The funds raised through this campaign will go directly towards my sister’s care—whether it’s for her education, medical needs, emotional support, or any other expenses that may arise as we navigate this new chapter in our lives without our mother.

In addition to Emma’s care, as we prepare for our mom’s cremation, the costs are adding up, and any contribution, big or small, will also go directly toward her cremation and memorial services.

While we can't replace our mom, we can ensure that my sister's future is as secure and filled with love as possible. Your generous donation will help ease the financial strains of the future and allow my family and I to focus on Emma’s well-being, healing, and growth.

We truly appreciate any support—whether it’s a donation or simply sharing our story. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for helping us during this unimaginable time. We are so grateful for the love and kindness of those who stand with us. We know how much our mother was loved by everyone who got the chance to know her.

With gratitude,


Kailey Bennett & Brandon Troop
