On behalf of my kids' incredible mom, Christine, and her loving husband, Colin, I’m creating this GoFundMe to help them replace Christine’s minivan, which was totaled in a car accident on Monday 4/7.

Thankfully — and with immense relief — Christine walked away from the accident safely. I broke into tears when she called to tell me what had happened. The fear of how quickly life can change hit hard, followed by overwhelming gratitude that she’s okay — and that none of our five kids were in the car with her.

Christine is the matriarch of our blended family — a true mama bear. She cares for everyone around her with an open heart and a fiercely loving presence. She’s the kind of woman who holds everything together while giving so much of herself to others. Asking for help isn’t easy for her — which is why I’m here, asking on her behalf.

While Christine and I are no longer married, we’ve spent years doing the deep work of healing, forgiving, and reimagining what partnership can look like after divorce. Together, we’ve built a co-parenting relationship rooted in mutual love, shared respect, and a strong purpose: to model healthy, kind, and supportive adult relationships for our kids. Colin is like a brother to me, and his kids are loved as if they were my own. We are one big, loving, beautifully blended family doing life — all of its mess and magic — together.

Now it’s our turn to show up for Christine and Colin.

They’re raising five amazing kids and, like many families, feeling the strain of tight finances. A reliable minivan isn’t a luxury — it’s a lifeline. It’s how Mama Bear transports the heart of our family through the twists and turns of everyday life.

If you’re able to contribute, we’d be deeply grateful. Whether it’s $10, $100, or simply sharing this campaign with others — your support means so much. It’s not just about replacing a car. It’s about honoring a woman who gives her whole heart to her family and showing her that it’s okay to receive, too.

With love,

Kent
