As many of you know, my husband Sean and I lost our youngest daughter, Madeline, to the effects of cancer treatment in 2022 when she was just 3 years old. She was truly one of a kind, and I have no doubt her snarky, spirited attitude helped her fight through an entire year of battling Neuroblastoma.

She was only 2 when we received her diagnosis—something no parent is ever prepared to hear. But we did our best to navigate every moment, together, until the very end.

After Madeline passed, we realized something that we hadn’t anticipated. During treatment, the support we received was extraordinary—gifts, letters, thoughtful gestures, support systems—an outpouring of love that even made our two older daughters feel seen and included. It was beautiful, and we’re still deeply grateful.

But here’s the truth: while many organizations focus on supporting families during the battle, very few are equipped to support families in the aftermath—when the world moves on but your grief does not.

That’s where Raising Daisies comes in. We are approved 501c and our mission is to continue the care and connection long after the diagnosis, long after the final treatment, and especially after the unthinkable loss. We want to be the ones who show up when you don’t know how to move forward.

We’re not just here to acknowledge your pain—we’re here to stand beside you in it. To offer meaningful, ongoing support: help with therapy costs, access to a relatable community, and opportunities to grieve, reflect, and begin healing. We want to be the people you call when you have no words, no direction, no strength left. Let Raising Daisies be your next step. We can't take away your loss, but we can walk with you through the days that

We are simply trying to offer the kind of support we once needed ourselves—and still do.

We humbly ask for your help in creating something that offers hope to families with nowhere else to turn.

Let Raising Daisies be the support you didn’t know you needed—on behalf of all our angel children. ❤️
