Yesterday, December 13th, Wendy and her loved ones experienced a sudden and heartbreaking loss. Her husband, James Blackwell, passed away unexpectedly at the age of 59. At this time, the family is still awaiting answers regarding the cause of his passing.

James was one of the primary sources of income for their household, and his passing comes with many sudden responsibilities and expenses. As a business owner, she will need to take time away from work to grieve and to handle arrangements. Funds raised will help cover living expenses and funeral costs during this incredibly difficult time.

Our hope is to ease some of the burden so Wendy can focus on healing and honoring the life she shared with James. Any amount is deeply appreciated. If you are unable to donate, please consider sharing this page, sending love, or keeping Wendy and her family in your prayers.

Thank you for your kindness, compassion, and support during these tough times.
