With hearts that are aching, we share that Danielle Hayes passed away unexpectedly on Monday, April 13, 2026. Danielle had a beautiful way of loving people—she showed up, she cared deeply, and she made life brighter just by being in it. But the greatest love in her life was being a mom.

Danielle leaves behind her four beloved children: Kaine Roy (16), Odin Ace (12), Hazel Nyx (8), and Ivey Jae (6). And in a heartbreak that feels impossible to put into words, they are also still grieving the loss of their father/stepfather just six months ago.

We’re starting a fund to help wrap these children in support—covering immediate needs, easing the financial pressure in the months ahead, and helping them have opportunities Danielle dreamed of for them, including college or trade school. Most of all, we want them to grow up knowing their mom was deeply loved, and that they are being held up by a village that won’t let them fall.

If you’re able to donate, we’re truly grateful. If you can’t, please consider sharing this and keeping this family in your prayers—every act of kindness matters more than we can say.
