Our family is walking through an incredibly painful and unexpected season after the sudden and tragic loss of my sister, Rachael. In the midst of this heartbreak, her two precious children, Raelan and Brody, are now in my care.

I am honored and committed to stepping in to provide them with love, protection, and a stable home during this difficult transition. While nothing can ever replace their mother, my heart and focus are on creating a safe, nurturing environment where they can begin to heal emotionally and continue growing surrounded by family and support.

The outpouring of love, prayers, and concern from friends, family, and our community has been overwhelming, and many have asked how they can help in a tangible way. This fundraiser is being created to support Raelan and Brody directly as we work toward long-term stability and care for their needs.

Funds raised will help with:

• Daily living expenses for the children

• Clothing, school supplies, and educational needs

• Counseling and emotional support services

• Legal, guardianship, and administrative costs

• Creating and maintaining a safe and loving home environment

We take comfort in God’s Word during this time:

“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” — Psalm 34:18

“God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.” — Psalm 46:1

We are trusting God to guide our family through this painful season and to provide strength, wisdom, and peace where there is so much hurt. We are deeply grateful for every prayer, share, and act of generosity. Your support will help provide comfort, consistency, and hope for two children who have experienced unimaginable loss.

Thank you for surrounding Raelan and Brody with love during this time. Your kindness and compassion truly mean more than words can express.
