On June 18th, my 8 year old friend Hadley's father, Cole, passed away unexpectedly. As her mom, Kelsey, and her figure out how to navigate this loss, Kelsey is doing the best she can to support Hadley through both the emotional and financial challenges that come with losing a parent.

As a single mom, Kelsey has always worked hard to give Hadley a steady, joyful life. But in the wake of Cole's passing, she's faced with new and unexpected expenses – from legal and household costs to grief counseling and school support. Any help would ease this burden and allow her to focus on being there for Hadley.

One of Hadley's biggest wishes is to travel. Kelsey would love to give her some light in the midst of the darkness – something to look forward to and hold onto as she processes this heartbreak.

If you feel moved to help, whether through donating or simply sharing this page, we're incredibly grateful. Every bit of support helps them breathe a little easier, and lets Hadley know she's surrounded by love.

Thank you for holding them in your hearts.

– Michelle, Kelsey and Hadley
