Help Support Kortney and Kian After Marlen's Tragic Passing

Dear friends, family, and kind-hearted strangers,

I am reaching out to you with a heavy heart to support my beloved niece, Kortney Adams. Her partner, Marlen Salazar, passed away unexpectedly, leaving behind Kortney and their precious 2-year-old son, Kian. As you can imagine, this has been an incredibly challenging time for them.

I am not asking for large sums. Even a contribution as small as $2 can make a significant difference. I understand that the holiday season is upon us, and budgets are tight. However, your generosity, no matter how small, will be a beacon of hope for Kortney and Kian as they navigate this difficult period.

Kortney and Marlen were a tight-knit team, with Marlen being the primary caregiver for Kian while Kortney worked. Now, Kortney faces the daunting task of finding daycare for Kian in Columbus, a task made even more challenging by her grief. As she plans to return to work, financial support will help alleviate some of the burdens she faces.

Marlen was an extraordinary person who touched the lives of many. Her sudden passing has left a void that is felt by all who knew her. She was a beautiful soul, taken from this world far too soon. This GoFundMe is a way to honor her memory and support the family she cherished.

Kortney will be the direct beneficiary of this GoFundMe. The funds raised will help cover essential expenses, including daycare for Kian and basic living costs, as they adjust to life without Marlen.

I sincerely thank you for your generosity, whether it be through a financial contribution or by sharing this GoFundMe with others.

Every bit helps, and your support is deeply appreciated.

Together, let us support Kortney and Kian as they find the strength to move forward during this heart-wrenching time. Your kindness and compassion will mean the world to them.
