Five Children. One Father. A Heartbreaking Loss. Love calls

A Support, Love Movement: honoring the legacy of Nicole Kennedy & walking alongside her husband Gary Kennedy Jr., a Devoted Father of 5 young children, After the Loss of His Beloved Wife

Gary Kennedy Jr. faced the unimaginable—his wife of 17 years, Nicole Garie Kennedy, passed away after a long and courageous health battle. Nicole was more than a wife and mother—she was the heart of her family, a radiant soul whose joy, faith, and strength uplifted everyone around her.

For the past three years, Gary served as Nicole’s full-time caregiver while also homeschooling their five children, who range in age from 14 to just 3 years old. In order to give his wife the round-the-clock care she needed and remain present in his children's lives, Gary sacrificed everything—selling their cars, RV, family van, and even the business he built. Every dollar of their savings went towards keeping their family afloat as he cared Nicole with dignity and love.

Through these incredibly challenging yet faithful years, Gary never wavered in his faith or his commitment to his family. He stood by Nicole’s side through every hardship, trusting in God's grace, and holding their home together with quiet strength.

Now, Nicole has transitioned to heaven and the limited aid they were receiving is no longer available. Gary faces the overwhelming task of supporting and rebuilding his family on his own. As a single father of five, he is determined to continue homeschooling his children, helping them grieve, and providing the stability and love they need—but he cannot do it without help.

This GoFundMe campaign has been created to support Gary and his children during this deeply painful and transitional time.

Gary is not expecting anything—this campaign is not a requirement or demand. It is simply an invitation for those who feel moved to help. Whether through prayer, financial support, or simply sharing this story, every act of kindness makes a meaningful difference.

Generous Funds raised will go towards:

•Basic living expenses (housing, food, utilities)

•Educational support

•Counseling and grief support for the children and

•Transportation and childcare needs.

Thank you for your support as they face this difficult road ahead.

In Loving Memory of :

Nicole Garie Kennedy
