Help Honor Megan’s Wishes & Protect Her Legacy

Donation protected

My name is Zack, and I am reaching out for help during one of the most difficult times of my life. My beloved sister Megan battled terminal cancer for five years, enduring unimaginable pain and hardship. She was given just six months to live after her diagnosis, but her strength and determination kept her with us much longer. Over the past year, I became her primary caregiver, supporting her through hospice care, multiple surgeries, and the daily challenges of her illness. Megan passed away in April, leaving behind her two brothers, & nephew Gage and neice Madison, her cherished dogs, and a friend's who misses her deeply.


Now, I am facing a new battle. My ex brother-in-law Aaron is contesting Megan’s life insurance policy, even though she named me, Gage, and Madison as beneficiaries. He is also trying to take her dogs away from me, despite Megan’s clear wishes that I care for them and take them on adventures, just as she did. He is trying to take back for camp trailer that I put money into to make it worry free for her on her travels, travels he never went on . He refused to divorce Megan, hoping to keep the insurance money and the house for himself. I am currently self-employed and in between projects, making it nearly impossible to continue this fight alone. On top of that, I have spent significant amounts caring for Megan during her illness, and now I am struggling to protect her legacy.


Megan was not only my sister but also a mother figure after we lost our mom when we were young to cancer. She did everything she could to care for us, and now I want to honor her legacy by protecting her children AKA "her dogs ". With your support, I hope to establish a trust and investment opportunities for Gage and Madison, ensuring they never have to face a situation like this. i will be reaching the Virginia City Grand prix for the second yr in honor of my sister. I hope to launch a racing team called Defy the Odds, inspired by Megan’s motto: “What would Megan do? Fight.”


My sister's dying wishes for herself were to be turned into Stones so that her family and friends could carry her everywhere!! And to be turned into fireworks,! so she could light up everybody's life one last time! She was an incredible human being she showed me what true love and true friendship really was. She was more than my sister,more than my mother she was my best friend, my confidant, the person I could tell anything to with no judgment. She never told me what to do, she would give suggestions tell me what I already knew . And then me make my own decisions to learn from my own mistakes. She made me a better person everyday and everyone that came in contact with her had a better day because she was in it.


I am asking for your help to cover the legal fees needed to fight for what Megan wanted and to keep her memory alive through her dogs and family. Any contribution, no matter how small, will make a difference in our lives. Thank you for helping us honor Megan’s wishes and build a secure future for our family.
