Stand with Benny's Family During This Crisis

Help Support Benny’s Family During This Heartbreaking Time

Our hearts are shattered as we share the story of sweet Benny, a joyful and adventurous 3-year-old who brought light and laughter to everyone around him. Benny loved being outside with his best buddy, Michael, riding tractors, playing in the woods, and getting as muddy as possible. He climbed anything he could, explored with endless curiosity, and adored his sister, Adalyn.

On Tuesday, March 11, Benny suddenly fell ill and suffered a seizure. He was rushed to the hospital, but after unforeseen complications, he had to be airlifted to Lurie Children’s Hospital in Chicago. There, his parents, Brad and Tiffany, were met with the heartbreaking news that no parent should ever have to hear. Benny is currently on life support, and his family is navigating an unimaginable reality.

Brad and Tiffany have been overwhelmed by the outpouring of love and support from family, friends, and their community. As they remain by Benny’s side, we want to ease their burden during this devastating time. Any donations will help cover medical expenses, travel costs, and allow them to focus on their time with Benny without financial worry.
No amount is too small, and if you are unable to donate, please share this fundraiser and keep Benny and his family in your thoughts and prayers. Let’s surround them with love, strength, and support in honor of the sweet boy who filled so many hearts with joy.
Thank you for your kindness
