<div>On October 9, 2025, the world changed forever as it said goodbye to Lainey Jean Gladkin, lovingly known to all as "Lainey Bird" - a beautiful, spirited two-year old whose joy, determination and love touched every person she encountered. She was so many wonderful things - beautiful, smart, hilarious, sassy, feisty, loving and strong. Of all the titles she held, her favorites were being daughter to Kevin and Kelsey and "Sissy" to her big brother Cooper. While her life ended far too soon, her impact was immeasurable.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Despite her age and petite stature, Lainey was someone you'd never forget once you'd met her. With her radiant brown eyes and adorable smile, she was sure to brighten your day no matter the time or the circumstance. Kevin and Kelsey ensured she lived boundlessly, and their home was her paradise as she went from one adventure to the next with her big brother Cooper, her grandparents, cousins, family and friends. Her laughter and light will be so deeply missed by all who had the absolute pleasure of knowing and loving Lainey Bird.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>While her medical journey included visits and surgeries, the moment she arrived home she was playing, giggling, jumping, running, riding co-pilot and almost always - climbing. Kevin and Kelsey's unconditional love and commitment to ensuring every moment of her life was fun and fulfilling made Lainey exactly how all her family and friends would describe her - happy.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>It is with the absolute heaviest of hearts that this GoFundMe is established, but those who know Kevin and Kelsey know that they are always doing things for others and never expecting anything in return.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Following Lainey's passing, many have asked how they can help. This GoFundMe has been established to support Kevin and Kelsey as they navigate their unimaginable loss. Donated funds will help cover Lainey's medical and cemetery expenses.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Any remaining donations will be used to establish a charitable foundation in Lainey's honor, ensuring her joyful spirit and legacy continue to bring hope and love to others, just as she did every single day of her life.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>On behalf of the Gladkin family, thank you for your love, prayers and support. Your kindness is a reflection of the incredible community that surrounded Lainey throughout her beautiful journey.
</div>
