Trinity, Kota, and baby Beckett are a beautiful family in Menasha, Wisconsin, and some of my closest friends. On July 27, 2026, an EF-3 tornado tore through Menasha and the surrounding communities, changing so many lives forever. Their home was one of the many that suffered devastating structural damage. This isn’t just a house—it’s their first home together, purchased in 2021. It’s where they got engaged, where they were married, where they walked through the heartbreak of three losses before finally welcoming their rainbow baby, and where they brought their son Beckett home just two months ago. It holds some of the most sacred, irreplaceable memories of their lives.

To make things even more overwhelming, they have already been turned away by multiple contractors due to the extent of the damage. They are currently living on one income, as Trinity recently became a stay-at-home mom to care for Beckett. The unexpected costs from this disaster have been crushing. Donations will go directly toward immediate needs such as temporary lodging that insurance doesn’t cover, food, clothing, hygiene items, baby essentials, replacing spoiled groceries, transportation, and other urgent expenses while they navigate what comes next with insurance and repairs.

If you are able to donate, no matter the amount, it would mean more than I can put into words. And if you can’t give, please consider sharing this fundraiser—spreading the word is just as powerful. From the bottom of my heart, as someone who loves this family deeply, thank you for your kindness, your prayers, and your support during the hardest chapter they have ever faced. I am holding onto hope that with the help of our community, they can rebuild the home where so many of their most important memories began—and where I know they still have so many more to make. With love and gratitude,
