Standing with Cortney After the Tragic Loss of Colton
Donation protected
Yesterday, our dear coworker and friend Cortney experienced every parent’s worst nightmare — the sudden and heartbreaking loss of her young son, Colton, in a tragic drowning accident. He was only 4 years old.
There are no words that can ease the pain of such a loss. As Cortney and her family navigate this unimaginable grief, we want to surround them with love, prayers, and tangible support. The road ahead will be heavy with sorrow, and the last thing Cortney should have to worry about is the financial burden that comes with funeral arrangements and time away from work.
We’ve created this GoFundMe to help ease that burden — to give Cortney the space to mourn Colton without the added weight of unexpected expenses. All donations will go directly to Cortney to assist with Colton's funeral costs, time off work, and any other needs during this incredibly difficult time.
If you’re able, please consider donating — no amount is too small. And if you’re not in a position to give, please share this link and keep Cortney and her family in your thoughts and prayers.
Let’s come together to lift up someone who is always giving to others — and remind her that she is not alone.
With love and gratitude,
Her True Co-Workers
