We are reaching out to friends, family, and kind-hearted strangers to help ease the burden on this family so they can focus on healing and remembering Barney, Linda, and Allen—without the added weight of financial stress.

Many of you are aware of the unimaginable losses the Nightjar Farm family has endured, but for those who are not:

In August 2024, the family unexpectedly lost Barney—Chelsea’s husband and the devoted father of their two children. Just a few short weeks later, Linda passed away after a long battle with cancer, leaving Chelsea without her mother and the children without their Oba. Then, this year, Allen, Dad, Oji, fell suddenly ill and passed away just days before Christmas.

In the span of only a few months, Chelsea has lost her husband, her parents, her roommates, and her immediate support system. Now a single mother of two, she is navigating profound grief while also facing significant financial strain.

We are asking you to help become part of a larger circle of support—one that allows Chelsea, Pippin, and Minoux to move forward with peace, dignity, and stability during this incredibly difficult time.

Your donation, no matter the amount, will go directly toward:

Outstanding medical expenses

Household and living costs

Ongoing support for Chelsea, Pippin, and Minoux in the months ahead
