With a broken heart, I am reaching out to support one of my longest friends Madisen and her family.

At just 22 weeks, Madisen experienced unexpected complications, and despite every effort to keep baby Waylon safe, he was born at only 24 weeks via emergency C-section. Waylon fought with incredible strength, but sadly, his time here was too short.

No parent should ever have to experience this kind of heartbreak, and while Madisen and Chris would never ask for anything, we want to rally around them in this unimaginable time.

We are raising funds to help with medical and memorial expenses and, most importantly, to ensure they don’t have to worry about returning to work right now. They deserve the time and space to grieve without the financial stress.

If you’re able to contribute, any amount would mean the world. If you can’t donate, sharing this page is just as helpful. Let’s come together to support Madisen, Chris and Olivia as they navigate this heartbreaking journey.

With so much gratitude,

Jessica
