Dear OTOV Family,

We are heartbroken to share that our dear friend and colleague, Denise, has recently experienced the unimaginable loss of both her husband, Keith, and her mother within just a few weeks. As many of you know, Denise is someone who always shows up for others—with compassion, strength, and generosity. Now, it’s our turn to show up for her.

Keith, Denise’s incredible husband of 15 years, passed away at just 43 after a courageous battle with glioblastoma, an aggressive form of brain cancer. Diagnosed in May 2024, Keith underwent a craniotomy, chemotherapy, radiation, and multiple hospital stays. This spring, he suffered a stroke that marked a rapid decline in his health. He passed peacefully in his sleep, leaving behind Denise and their beloved four-year-old twin daughters, Amelia and Grace.

Many of you have asked how you can help. In response, we’ve created this fund to support Denise and her family as they travel to England to honor Keith’s memory and attend a memorial service with his loved ones. Our goal is to raise $10,000 to help cover travel and lodging expenses for their two-week stay.

Every contribution—no matter the size—will make a meaningful difference and remind Denise that she’s not alone. Thank you for your kindness, support, and generosity during this incredibly difficult time.
