It is with a heavy heart that I let you all know my beautiful daughter, Hayleigh, lost her battle with depression and passed away by suicide on Wednesday, May 17, 2023. Hayleigh was only 15 years old and was her own person, very outspoken, loving, artistic, crazy, and funny. While our family is devastated and heartbroken, we are all extremely touched by the number of people who have reached out and showed support, love, and prayers. There have been so many of you asking how you can help us during this time. We were not prepared for this and we decided to start a GoFundMe to raise funds to go directly to funeral, medical, and other expenses. If funds are raised beyond these expenses, the family is working on dedicating funds to local mental health resources to raise awareness and honor Hayleigh. If you're thinking about suicide, are worried about a friend or loved one, or would like emotional support, text or call 988.
