Hi everyone I am one of Desirae’s close friends Candice

As we enter this season of giving, love, and togetherness, I wanted to share something that’s been on my heart about our dear Desirae and the boys. As many of you know, losing Tyler has been an incredibly painful journey for them, and this will be their first Christmas without him. Desirae is navigating life as a single parent with remarkable strength and courage, but this season will undoubtedly be a difficult one.

This Christmas, we’d love to surround her family with comfort, encouragement, and a reminder that they are not alone. A small group of us are gathering donations to help make their holiday a little brighter. Our hope is to gift each of the boys a new bike—something to bring them joy, adventure, and a bit of childhood magic. We’d also like to treat Desirae to a relaxing facial to give her a moment of self-care and healing.

If you feel moved to contribute in any way, big or small, your kindness will mean more than words can express. Every donation will go directly toward these gifts and toward lifting this beautiful family up during a time when they could truly use the warmth of community.

Thank you for considering being part of this act of love. Wishing you and your loved ones a peaceful, joyful holiday season.
