On Sunday, May 11, Lane, Baleigh, Brynlee, and Sawyer were in Chattanooga, TN, for Brynlee’s dance competition. On their way home, the family was involved in a tragic car accident. Heartbreakingly, Lane did not survive. Baleigh, Brynlee, and Sawyer were all critically injured.

Baleigh and Sawyer remain hospitalized in Chattanooga, while Brynlee was airlifted to Nashville for treatment. The road to recovery will be long and challenging for this young family.

We are raising funds to help cover the overwhelming medical expenses and the cost of Lane’s funeral services. Any donation, no matter the amount, will make a meaningful difference. If you’re unable to give financially, we ask that you keep this family in your thoughts and prayers.

Thank you for your compassion, support, and generosity during this incredibly difficult time. All proceeds will go directly to the immediate family.
