On 8/24/25, my dear friend Erin Bauguess-Kimes died unexpectedly. Her wife Kim, and children Jake, Jon, and Allie are now faced with the unimaginable. Their worlds have been turned upside down. Erin was their rock.

Kim faces the heartbreaking challenge of raising three children on her own, while navigating grief and financial burdens that come with such a sudden loss. From memorial costs, everyday expenses, to long-term needs like education, the road ahead is overwhelming.

Let's rally around the Bauguess-Kimes family during this painful time. Your generosity will help ease the immediate financial strain and provide stability moving forward. Every donation, no matter the size, is a reminder that they are not alone in this journey.

Please consider giving what you can, and sharing this page with others who may want to help. All donations will go directly to Erin's wife, Kimberly Bauguess, for her to use as needed.
