On July 22, tragedy struck the lives of our dear friend Patin and her two children, Dixie and Jayden, when her husband Justin passed away unexpectedly. He was not only a devoted husband of 18 years but a loving, hands-on father whose absence leaves an unimaginable void.

Patin and Justin built a life together rooted in love, commitment, and family. Now, Patin is left to carry that weight on her own, suddenly becoming the sole caregiver for their two children while also navigating unimaginable grief and loss.

With no family nearby, she is facing this heartbreak largely on her own. She’s doing everything she can to stay strong for Dixie and Jayden, but the road ahead will be incredibly difficult.

We are reaching out on her behalf to ask for support during this devastating time, especially as this was sudden, unexpected, and without any planning. All funds raised will go directly to Patin to help with:

Funeral and memorial costs for Justin

Immediate living expenses

Childcare and counseling for Dixie and Jayden

Ongoing support as they adjust to life without their husband and father

No amount is too small, and every bit of support helps. If you're unable to donate, please consider sharing this campaign and keeping Patin and her children in your thoughts and prayers.

Let’s come together to lift up this family and remind them that they’re not alone in this.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
