Hi my name is Angie,

I created this go fund me to tell you about the most selfless, giving person I know. Someone who was always willing to help a friend in need, who never asked for anything in return and who worked hard to provide for her family. Kelly Claybrooke dedicated her life to her children Ziggy and Kahlynn, whom she adopted and raised as her own. She was the main caregiver for her grandmother, who needed around the clock care until her passing at the age of 96. In 2018, Kelly graduated magna cum laude with a Bachelor's of Science in business from Indiana Wesleyan University. In 2020, after years of waiting and planning, she built a family home for herself, her children and her sisters Dami and Kiish.

On December 20, 2021, just a few days before Christmas, the world lost the most selfless, giving person I know. Kelly was diagnosed with cancer earlier this month. While Kelly was ready to fight, the illness was discovered too late and she succumbed mere weeks after her initial diagnosis. Her family is grief stricken and reeling at this time. Because of how soon we lost Kelly, she was not able to prepare her affairs as she would have liked. The cancer was aggressive and she was in so much pain after her diagnosis that she was bedridden and fighting to maintain consciousness. Kelly was the main provider for her family, who are trying to navigate a future without her.

We are now preparing a memorial service for Kelly.

We, Kelly's friends and family, are asking you to spare anything you can to help her family memorialize Kelly and provide financial stability for her children. Anything you give will be greatly appreciated and will be used to help soften the blow of Kelly's loss. It will be used to protect the home she built for her children and to provide a modest service for Kelly. Your gift will not go to waste and will make a tremendous difference to Ziggy and Kahlynn.

Thank you for taking time out of your day to read about Kelly. We hope you have a lovely day and wish you all the best.
