Help Kellin Thrive After Losing His Mother Kaitlin

On June 3rd, 2025, my beautiful daughter, Kaitlin Elizabeth Morales, tragically lost her life at just 29 years old. She leaves behind her 5½-year-old son, Kellin, who was her entire world (https://youtu.be/TgxYtCekwqQ) Message to his mom).

We are raising $20,000 or more to help cover funeral expenses, support the legal and personal costs of me adopting Kellin, and to begin a fund for his lifelong care and future.

Kaitlin was taken from us far too soon. She leaves behind an older son who lives with his father along with four siblings, two older brothers, two older sisters, and a niece who all adored her. There is also her beloved dog, Myla Moo, who was always by her side and whom she lovingly called her “ride or die.”

Kaitlin was loved by all who met her, and she had a light that lit up every room she entered. Her beautiful, bright eyes sparkled with warmth, her radiant smile could lift any spirit, and her infectious laugh had a way of making everyone feel like they belonged (Kaitlin's laugh: (https://youtube.com/shorts/twoHWGwbPKU?feature=share). She was full of life, with a kind, gentle, and compassionate soul. She had so many dreams—so many plans—that were tragically cut short.

Now, my focus is on Kellin, a bright, loving little boy whose world has been forever changed. I am committed to adopting him and raising him with the same love, laughter, and spirit Kaitlin gave so freely. Your support will help make my commitment a reality—and ensure that Kellin grows up surrounded by his family, stability, and opportunity.

Any contribution, no matter the size or amount, brings us closer to giving Kellin the future his mother dreamed of—and that I am now committed to building for him.

With love and gratitude,

James Hinkle
