Hi, we are Emma & Shannon and we are creating this fundraiser on behalf of our dearest friend, Kayley.

On August 13th, Kayley’s world changed forever when she unexpectedly and tragically lost her husband Aaron. She is only 26 years old and now faces raising their three young, beautiful boys, ages 8, 3, and 1½, on her own.

For the past several years, Kayley has been a devoted stay-at-home mom while also working toward her graduate degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. She has poured herself into her family and her studies, preparing for a career where she could help others. Now, she is navigating unimaginable grief, the sudden loss of her partner, and the daunting responsibility of supporting her children without the financial stability they once had.

This fundraiser is to help cover urgent and essential needs:

Our goal is to give her space to breathe—to grieve, to care for her boys, and to begin building a path forward without the constant fear of financial collapse. Any amount, no matter how small, will make a difference in their lives.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for reading, donating, and sharing. Your kindness means more than words can express.
