 On August 23rd, our sister Paula, lost the love her life, her loving husband and devoted father of their two beautiful children, Chris, suddenly and tragically at just 44 years old. As a family, we have also lost one of our pillars - an incredible uncle and brother-in-law. The man we knew we could all rely on, who also cared fiercely for our parents as if they were his own.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 His passing has left a hole that words simply cannot describe. He leaves behind Paula and their two beautiful children, Cadence, 9, and Jase, 6.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Paula has not only lost the love of her life and the father of her children, she has suddenly had to face a future she never imagined, without the person who was by her side and who was the sole provider for their family.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 The financial reality of losing a spouse and parent so unexpectedly can be overwhelming. There will be immediate expenses, as well as the ongoing costs of raising two children and rebuilding a life that has been changed forever.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 We want to give Paula the time and space to grieve, to be there for Cadence and Jase, and to begin figuring out their new life without having to carry the full financial burden at the same time.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Right now, we simply want to raise as much money as we possibly can for this beautiful family. Every dollar can make a difference. Whether it helps with everyday expenses, housing, childcare, education, groceries, transportation, or simply gives Paula a little breathing room during an incredibly difficult time, every contribution will mean more than we can put into words.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 If you are able to donate, no amount is too small. And if you aren't in a position to donate, sharing this fundraiser with your friends, family, coworkers, and community is just as meaningful and can help us reach people who may be able to help.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Our hope is that when Paula looks around in the days, months, and years ahead, she will see just how many people are standing beside her and her children.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 We cannot give them Chris back. We cannot take away their grief. But together, we can help make sure they don't have to face the financial burden of this devastating loss alone. Please help us surround Paula, Cadence and Jase with love, compassion, and support.
</div>
<div>

 From the very bottom of our hearts, thank you for helping our family through the darkest chapter of our lives. Every donation, every share, every kind word, and every act of support means more than you will ever know. ❤️
