On February 24, 2026, my beautiful sister, Jennifer Padilla passed away unexpectedly at just 35 years old, leaving behind her two beautiful children, Logan Wade and Madison May.

Jennifer was the heart and leader of our family — the planner, the encourager, the one who made sure everyone felt loved and included. She believed life was meant to be lived fully: say yes to the moment, dance in the kitchen, try new things, and laugh as much as possible. Her laughter was contagious, her puns were constant, and she had a gift for turning ordinary days into unforgettable memories.

But more than anything, she loved being a mom.

Logan and Madison were her world. Every decision she made centered around giving them joy, stability, and opportunity. She worked hard to build a life where they felt safe, supported, and deeply loved.

This fundraiser has been created to help:

• Cover immediate household bills and living expenses

• Provide stability and daily support for Logan and Madison

• Assist with funeral and related expenses

• Contribute toward the children’s future needs, including education

The loss of a parent changes everything. While nothing can replace Jennifer’s presence, we can come together to help ease the financial burden and create stability for her children during this incredibly difficult time.

If Jennifer ever made you laugh, showed up for you, shared coffee with you, or brought light into your life in any way, we ask you to consider supporting her children now.

Any amount makes a difference. If you’re unable to donate, sharing this page and keeping her children in your thoughts and prayers means so much.

Jennifer spent her life protecting and providing for her babies and now we’re asking for help to continue what she started.
