Our family and friends are coming together to support 14-year-old Brayden, who was recently diagnosed with a rare form of Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma. No child or family should ever have to face something like this, and we want Brayden to know he is surrounded by unwavering love and support.

Brayden is an incredible kid—kind, thoughtful, and has a heart of gold. He’s a wonderful big brother to his two little sisters and brings so much light to everyone who knows him.

He deserves to be a kid—making memories, laughing freely, and looking ahead to a bright future.

His mom, Kim, has spent her life caring for others—first as a labor and delivery nurse, and now as a nurse practitioner serving her community. Brayden’s dad, Brian, is currently active duty with the Army, finishing a deployment, and once his deployment is over, he will return home to continue serving as a dedicated police officer. Together, they have built a beautiful family rooted in love, service, and resilience.

As Brayden begins treatment, the road ahead will come with both emotional and financial challenges. Between medical expenses, time away from work, deployment, travel for care, and the everyday needs of their family, we want to help ease that burden so they can focus fully on what matters most—Brayden’s healing and his family being together, and by his side.

If you are able, please consider donating to support Brayden and his family during this incredibly difficult time. No amount is too small, and every gift truly makes a difference. If you’re not in a position to give, sharing this page and keeping Brayden in your prayers means so much.

Brayden, you are deeply loved. We are all standing beside you and cheering you on every step of the way.

❤️ Stand strong, Brayden. We’re with you. ❤️

This GoFundMe will be managed by Stephanie Thompson, who will help coordinate donations, updates, and communication so that Kim, Brian, and the family can remain focused on Brayden’s care and their time together. Please feel free to send your thoughts to the family here and look for updates to the go fund me regarding Brayden's journey.

Thank you for respecting their privacy, lifting them up in prayer, and surrounding them with love and support. ❤️
