Donate to Secure Hailey and Jaxyn's Well-being

A friend of mine is an artist and she painted this beautiful portrait of Hailey and Jaxyn’s mother on canvas for them. Thank you so much to that friend. It means so much to us.

Thank you to everyone for all your continued support, prayer, and shares to help Hailey and Jaxyn. With the donations so far, they continue to go to therapy and attend summer camp. They continue to process their loss. They have good days and very difficult days. They are still in their stage of grief where they ask "why?" a lot. Some days they express that it doesn't feel real. Some days they express anger and sadness. I don't have the answers, but I offer space for them to process this in their own way.

They are able to attend summer camp, which is helping to keep them engage socially and focus on fun activities. Jaxyn has experienced a few situations at camp that were upsetting, but I am so proud of how he handles it. It's understandable that other children may not understand what it's like to lose their mother and don't know that their words may be difficult for him.

Hailey has also asked to start engaging in a teen volunteer program through our city. This is wonderful and is a form of self care for her as she wants to stay active and step out of her comfort zone to build resilience to help with her anxiety by working with other teens to help our community. I'm so proud of both of them.

We appreciate everyone's support and ask if you can donate to help them continue to attend summer camp and help with their other needs, we greatly appreciate it. If you can’t donate, please share this page to help reach others. Blessings to you all and thank you.

This past week, Hailey and Jaxyn experienced the unimaginable; the sudden and heartbreaking loss of their young mother. Hailey and Jaxyn have already experienced more hardships and heartaches than any child should and do not have the support from anyone else. Their mother had worked hard to overcome her own struggles and was actively co-parenting with Kelli, ensuring her children’s needs were met and that they had the safe life they deserved.

Kelli, their grandmother, was recently granted custody, per their mother’s request. She and their mother had been working hard to rebuild family bonds and heal past wounds. Together, they were creating a healthier, more stable life for the children; one filled with hope, love, and the promise of new beginnings.

Now, all of those plans have come to a painful halt.

Kelli is now raising Hailey and Jaxyn entirely on her own, without family support and with overwhelming financial burdens. Though she is providing them with unconditional love, emotional support, and stability, the resources they once relied on through their mother’s support are suddenly gone.

We are humbly asking for your help.

In addition to planning a modest celebration of life that the children want, to honor their mother’s memory—Hailey and Jaxyn now face urgent and ongoing needs that Kelli is struggling to meet alone:

($3,000.00 left to pay) Orthodontic care for Hailey. Hailey’s mother had promised to proudly pay for her braces—a symbol of their fresh start as this was something Kelli cannot afford alone. Hailey was so excited to have them put on just four weeks ago. But now, without her mother’s financial help, Kelli won’t be able to continue this essential treatment.

($1,700) Summer camp program to give them a safe, supportive space to just be kids again while Kelli continues working to meet their basic needs.

($ 300.00) Continuing their activities in soccer and basketball, which provide the children with much-needed joy, friendship, and healthy emotional outlets during this painful time.

Your generosity will directly impact Hailey and Jaxyn’s ability to receive the emotional support, health care, and stability they need to heal and begin building a hopeful future.

Our goal is to raise $5,000 to help cover these critical expenses and ensure that Hailey and Jaxyn have the chance to move forward with dignity, love, and the support they so desperately need.

If you’re unable to donate, please keep Hailey and Jaxyn in your prayers and share their story. Every act of kindness—no matter how small—helps remind these children that they are not alone, and that even in their darkest moments, hope and compassion still exist.

Thank you for your love, your generosity, and for standing with this family during their greatest time of need. Together, we can help Hailey and Jaxyn find their way forward—one day at a time.
