This is my son, Chase Daniel Dean. Early Saturday morning on 5/3/2025, Chase was shot and murdered at the hands of 3 different people. Chase was 14...

Edit: I am greatly appreciative of all who have donated and helped, those funds payed to lay Chase to rest the proper way.

It has been one year since we lost our beloved son, and not a single day has been the same. At just 14 years old, he was taken from us far too soon. He was full of life, always singing, always smiling, and always reminding us how much he loved us. His absence is felt in every moment.

While time has passed, the grief has not. As his mother, I am still struggling deeply with the emotional and mental toll of losing my child. The trauma of this loss has required ongoing therapy, and there are days that are still incredibly heavy and hard to get through. Grief doesn't have a timeline, and healing is not something that happens overnight.

I am doing everything I can to stay strong for, God, my business, my family, especially his siblings, who are also learning how to live without their brother. But the reality is, this loss has affected every part of our lives-including financially. Between therapy, daily responsibilities, continuing the trials and adding some, plus trying to rebuild some sense of normalcy, I am in need of support.

I am asking for help during this continued journey through grief. Any donation will go toward therapy costs, household needs, and helping me remain present and stable for my family as we continue to heal.

Thank you for remembering my son, for supporting us, and for helping us carry this weight we never expected to bare.
