Help with monthly expenses after the loss of her husband

Donation protected
Hi, my name is Jessica. I've known Elsa and her family for almost 10 years now! I'm hoping to help ease the financial burden for this amazing family and everything they are going through.

One of Taylor and Carter's friends set up Meal Train for their family and would love the support to help the meal train keep going. Here is the link: https://mealtrain.com/0e91q3

My sweet Carter
The love of my life passed away peacefully at foothills hospital today. Carter has been battling many illnesses over the past 3 years and fought with everything he had every step of the way. He was diagnosed with bronchiectasis last year, which ultimately led to lung failure. All of Carter's doctors said he fought valiantly to the end. They were so impressed with how far Carter had come, despite all the setbacks he has had. No matter how many doctors appointments, medications, or bad days, he never complained. The past 3 years have been the biggest struggle for him, but he woke up every day with a smile on his face ready to keep going. He always said that even though he was unlucky with his health, he was lucky in every other aspect of his life and was so grateful. He is the strongest, most resilient person I have ever met. ❤️
I can't even put into words how painful this is. I've lost my best friend. My heart physically feels broken. I can't imagine my life without you by my side. You are my everything and so much more ❤️ I am beyond grateful for the amazing 11 years we had together. Every year we were together, we fell more in love. I didn't know being this in love was possible until you came into my life! You are the most amazing husband and dad to our little Levington... I know that you are going to live on through him every day ❤️ A part of me went with you today... but I know that we will be with each other again someday. Until that day comes, I know you will be watching over us every day. I love you with all my heart and so much more Carter Blake, and I will for the rest of my life. You deserved so much better than this ❤️
Before he passed, Carter told me that he felt at peace because he didn't have to fight anymore. It brings so much comfort knowing that he was able to be set free from all this pain and suffering. ❤️
Thank you to everyone for all the messages. We can feel all the love and support ❤️

Taylor is one of the strongest people I know. I'm hoping we can come together and give Taylor, Stacey, and all their family the time needed to grieve Carter passing, without have the worry about money. Carter also left behind is incredible baby boy, Levington, who is just shy of his first birthday. Carter was unable to get life insurance due to pre-existing conditions, so money was/is VERY tight for Taylor and don't want her to be forced back to work before she's ready. No amount is too small and will forever be remember/appreciate by the Blake family.

Carter, you were such an amazing husband, partner, and father to your family, and we will make sure they're taking care of.

We love you Taylor, Levington, Stacey, and Elsa.
