With broken hearts, we are asking our community to surround Madison Howes, Donovon Laiche, and their son, Brantlee, with love and support as they grieve the loss of their precious baby girl, Leighton Olivia Laiche.

Leighton was born on August 19, 2026, and passed away unexpectedly on October 10, 2026, due to SIDS. Her time with us was far too short, but the love and joy she brought into our lives will stay with us forever.

She was a beautiful, sweet, curious baby girl—always lifting her head and looking around, taking in the world around her. She brought her parents, Madison and Donovon, immeasurable joy and was adored by her big brother, Brantlee. She was deeply loved every single day of her life.

Now, this family faces the heartbreak of learning to live without their baby girl. There is no timetable for grief, and the coming months will bring both emotional and financial needs as they mourn, care for Brantlee, and begin the long road of healing.

We are asking for help with funeral and memorial expenses, everyday bills, meals, grief counseling, and the financial breathing room to take needed time away from work. Your generosity can help give Madison and Donovon the time and space to be together, support their son, and face each day without the added weight of financial worry.

If you are able to give, any donation will be deeply appreciated. If donating isn’t possible, sharing this GoFundMe is another meaningful way to help. Your prayers, loving messages, and continued presence are welcome and needed….not only now, but in the weeks and months ahead.

Thank you for helping us hold this family close and honor the life of our precious Leighton Olivia.

“Our baby girl. Our forever love.”

She is with the angels, and forever in our hearts.
