<div>On behalf of the Hayes family, it is with completely broken hearts that we share that they experienced a devastating and tragic accident over this past weekend involving their beloved son, Ayden. There are no words to describe the depth of grief and shock his parents and loved ones are experiencing right now.
</div>
<div>To anyone who knew Ayden, he was a genuinely sweet kid and a bright light in this world. He was a passionate athlete who loved sports, and he was happiest when he was hanging out with his friends, making memories, and sharing laughs. Above all, he deeply loved spending quality time with his family, who meant everything to him.
</div>
<div>Even in this time of unimaginable tragedy, Ayden’s selflessness shines through. He made the beautiful decision to be an organ donor, a final heroic gift that will save lives and leave a lasting legacy of love and hope.
</div>
<div>Because of this noble process, funeral and memorial services have not yet been scheduled. We will provide updates here as soon as details are finalized.
</div>
<div>As the Hayes family navigates this nightmare, we want to surround them with as much support as possible. The absolute last thing they should have to worry about right now is financial stress.
</div>
<div>We have set up this fund to help cover the upcoming funeral and memorial expenses, as well as to offer general financial support so they can take the necessary time off work to grieve together.
</div>
<div>Any contribution, no matter the size, will directly ease the burden on the Hayes family during this incredibly dark time. If you are unable to donate, please consider sharing this page and keeping the family in your thoughts and prayers.
</div>
<div>Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your kindness, generosity, and support.
</div>
