On September 25th, just 61 days shy of his 18th birthday, the world lost a bright light. Austin’s life was tragically cut short in a car accident, but in his 17 years he lived with a courage, love, and determination that most spend a lifetime chasing.
This past May, Austin did something extraordinary, he purchased a home with his longtime girlfriend, Jasmin. Together, they built a life rooted in love, hard work, and dreams of forever. They weren’t just two kids; they were a team. Austin had graduated early from high school, became a CNA, and worked tirelessly to create stability. Jasmin, also a CNA and still in high school, stood proudly by his side. Their plans were simple and beautiful: get married, build a family, and live a life full of joy.
Now, Jasmin faces the unimaginable, carrying on their shared dreams alone. At just 18, she is determined to finish school while holding on to the home they bought together, the home that symbolized their love and commitment.
The goal of this fund is to secure Jasmin’s future and protect the home that she and Austin worked so hard for. With just $45,000 remaining on the mortgage, we hope to raise enough to either pay it off or significantly ease the burden so she can focus on healing, finishing school, and honoring Austin’s memory without the fear of losing what they built together.
Austin was full of life, always smiling, always bringing joy to everyone around him. He lived boldly, loved deeply, and showed us all what it means to chase your dreams without hesitation. Supporting this fund means helping to carry forward the love story that Austin and Jasmin began, one that deserves to be protected and remembered.
Please join us in honoring Austin’s life by giving Jasmin the stability and hope she needs to move forward. No amount is too small. Every act of generosity helps keep Austin’s legacy of love alive.
