My name is Stephanie, and I am creating this GoFundMe on behalf of my parents.

Our sweet Ayden recently underwent brain surgery to remove a tumor. During the surgery, there were unexpected complications that ultimately resulted in his passing at only 11 years old. Our hearts are completely shattered . There are so many unknowns ahead, and this will be a long, difficult journey for our family as we navigate life without him.

So many people have reached out asking how they can help and support us during this unbearable time. Right now, prayers are what we need most, and for those who feel led to give, any donation is deeply appreciated. This will help ease the financial burden on my parents so that their last worry is money while they grieve and make arrangements for Ayden.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your love, your support, and your prayers for our family. We are so grateful for each and every one of you.
