Donate to Shayla Nordaker

Hi, my name is Angela Blevins, and I’m writing this with a heavy heart on behalf of my dear friend, Shayla Nordaker.

In March of 2025, Shayla experienced the unimaginable, the sudden and devastating loss of her husband, Matt Nordaker. They had just shared the most joyful news of their lives: they were expecting a baby girl, due in late June. The announcement was radiant with love — Matt beaming beside Shayla, both holding an ultrasound photo of their little miracle, Fiamma. Tragically, that very announcement became paired with news of his passing.

No words can capture what it means to lose your soulmate while carrying the life you created together. The grief, the unanswered questions, the dreams left unfulfilled, it’s all so much for one person to carry. And yet, Shayla is doing it with more grace, strength, and courage than anyone should ever have to muster.

As she prepares to bring baby Fiamma into the world, Shayla is navigating a future that looks nothing like she imagined. She’s doing it bravely, but she shouldn’t have to do it alone.

I’m asking, from the bottom of my heart, for your support. First and foremost, please lift Shayla and her daughter in your prayers. Pray for strength, peace, comfort, and for bright moments to find them even in the hardest days.

If you’re able to give financially, no matter the amount, it would be an immense blessing. Shayla is facing the weight of single motherhood and deep grief while managing the responsibilities of homeownership and preparing for her baby’s arrival. Your gift could help her cover essentials, groceries, baby supplies, household needs, and provide some peace of mind during a time that has turned her world upside down.

I hope that we can gift her this GoFundMe as a symbol of love and community to show her that while Matt may no longer be physically here, she is not alone.

Thank you for reading. Thank you for loving her through this. Thank you for being one of the lights in the darkness.

With gratitude and love,

Angela Blevins
