My name is Linda, and just five days ago, my world changed forever. My partner, Keith Jones, was the love of my life and my caregiver. He was a hardworking man who coached and played football, and he meant everything to me, his father, our niece Amarrah, and our four dogs—Cali, Cleo, Grinch, and Nola, who is about to have puppies. Keith was the heart of our family, always putting others first and making sure we were cared for and loved.

On January 22nd, we were fishing together in Grays Harbor when a wave suddenly swept Keith out to sea. In an instant, I lost my partner, and our whole life was turned upside down. Now, without Keith, we are facing the unimaginable—losing our home and the life he worked so hard to build for us. His 77-year-old father, a disabled Army and Marine veteran, also lives with us and depends on the stability Keith provided. We are struggling to find a way forward and keep our family together.

We need help with our mortgage, daily expenses, and caring for our beloved dogs, who are a big part of our family. I am reaching out to ask for your support so we can stay in our home, care for Keith’s father and our dogs, and honor the life Keith wanted for us. Any help you can give will make a world of difference as we try to rebuild and find hope in this difficult time.
