For Her Boys: A Fund for Smiles, Adventures & Healing

On August 9th 2025, the world lost a beautiful and irreplaceable soul. Hailey Kay Duckworth, just 36 years old, passed away unexpectedly and far too soon, leaving behind her three incredible boys ages 7,9 and 11 to venture this world without their Mom by their sides.

While nothing can ever replace the love, laughter, and memories they shared with their mom, this GoFundMe is meant to help create new moments of joy for them. Moments filled with laughter, adventure and healing.

Let us be clear, this is not about financial hardship. The boys are being very well cared for by loving family, and all of their needs - housing, schooling, stability - are being met. This is simply a fund for fun. A way to honor their mom's spirit - one that was full of life, playfulness and wild adventures - by helping her boys experience the world in joyful ways: summer vacations, fishing &hunting trips, amusement parks, movie nights, little adventures and great big memories.

We want the boys to continue their fearless adventures and to remember that while they've experience a terrible loss, the world still has beautiful things to offer and so many people who care.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for being one of those people. Every contribution, no matter the size, goes directly to making new memories for Justin, Weston and Barrett, the kind that make childhood a little brighter, even in the face of life's deepest heartbreaks.

With my sincerest love and gratitude,

Her friend, Val
