Just weeks ago, our family was celebrating new life. Our daughter welcomed a beautiful baby boy with her fiancé, Aaron, and they were beginning their future together. Tragically and unexpectedly, that future was taken from them when her fiancé passed away. He was only 22 years old.

Now, Jenna is navigating the unimaginable—grieving the love of her life while caring for their six-week-old baby. What should have been a season filled with joy, shared late nights, and building a family together has become a season of heartbreak, survival, and learning how to move forward alone.

Our hearts are especially broken for his parents, who lost their beloved son far too soon, and for Jenna and Banks, whose world has been forever changed. No one should have to endure this kind of loss—especially while adjusting to motherhood.

We are starting this GoFundMe to help ease some of the financial burdens that come with welcoming a baby while suddenly becoming a single mom. Funds raised will help with baby essentials, medical and living expenses, college funds, and giving her the space and support she needs to grieve without the added weight of financial stress.

The outpouring of love, prayers, messages, and support we have already received has meant more than we can put into words. We are deeply grateful for every act of kindness, whether it’s a donation, a share, or simply keeping our family in your thoughts and prayers.

Thank you for helping us support Jenna and sweet baby Banks during the most difficult chapter of their lives.
