<div>There are moments that forever change a community.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>For so many across Kansas and beyond, Axel’s story became one of those moments.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Campaign Update
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are deeply grateful for every person who has supported Axel’s family through this campaign. With the family’s blessing, this fundraiser has transitioned to support the newly established Bubby’s World Foundation. Rather than directing future donations to the family personally, all proceeds will now be used to honor Axel’s legacy by supporting children with autism, their families, autism safety initiatives, and acts of kindness in our communities.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The family’s wish is that Axel’s light continues to change lives for generations to come.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thousands of people searched, prayed, volunteered, and stood beside his family, hoping for a miracle. Although our hearts were broken by the outcome, the overwhelming love shown to Axel and his family revealed something extraordinary—that even in unimaginable loss, kindness has the power to unite us.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Today, with the blessing and vision of Axel’s family, we are honored to announce the creation of Bubby’s World Foundation.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Rather than simply remembering Axel, we want to continue the mission he inspired.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As Axel’s father, Logan, beautifully shared:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>“He gave us this mission to continue what he wanted to do—to make this world a sweeter, more kind place and to help others who were like him.”
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Those words have become the foundation of everything we hope to accomplish.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Bubby’s World Foundation exists to honor Axel’s life by bringing hope, support, and kindness to families who need it most.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Where Your Donations Go
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every donation made through this campaign will directly support the mission of Bubby’s World Foundation, including:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div> Providing support, resources, and assistance for children with autism and their families.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div> Raising awareness about autism and helping educate communities about elopement (wandering) prevention and safety.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div> Supporting initiatives that improve the safety and well-being of children with special needs.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div> Funding random acts of kindness for families facing unexpected hardship, because sometimes a small act of compassion can change someone’s entire world.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div> Developing future programs, educational resources, and community partnerships that carry Axel’s legacy forward.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Why We Continue
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This foundation isn’t about dwelling on tragedy.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>It’s about choosing hope.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>It’s about making sure Axel’s joy, kindness, and light continue touching lives for years to come.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every family we help…
</div>
<div>Every child who receives support…
</div>
<div>Every act of kindness made in Axel’s name…
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>…is another chapter in the beautiful legacy he leaves behind.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Whether you choose to donate, share this campaign, or simply carry kindness into your own community, you become part of Bubby’s World.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for standing with Axel, with his family, and with this mission.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Together, we can make the world a little sweeter.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With gratitude,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Bubby’s World Foundation
</div>
<div>A Grow Together Initiative Program
</div>
