Dear friends, family, and kind strangers,

We are heartbroken to share that our beloved Jaren and Gwyn have experienced an unimaginable loss — the passing of their precious 5-month-old baby, Luka.

There are no words to express the depth of sorrow and pain they are enduring. Luka was the light of their lives, a sweet boy who brought endless love and joy in just a few short months. The grief of losing a child is something no parent should ever have to face.

In the wake of this heartbreaking tragedy, we are coming together in support of Jaren and Gwyn, who are both active duty members of the U.S. Air Force currently stationed in Alaska. Though thousands of miles apart, our hearts are with them as they face an unimaginable loss. We hope to ease the unexpected financial burden during this incredibly difficult time. All funds raised will go directly to their family to provide support and relief as they navigate the days ahead.

If you're able, any donation — no matter the amount — would mean the world. And if you're not in a position to give, please consider sharing this fundraiser and keeping the family in your thoughts and prayers.

Thank you for your kindness, compassion, and support.

With love and gratitude,

Grace Synan - Jaren’s Aunt
