This fundraiser is being organized to support the French family as they face an unimaginable tragedy.

In a matter of moments, their lives were forever changed. They are grieving the heartbreaking loss of their 5-year-old daughter, Lilly, while also standing beside their 8-year-old son, Paxton, who passed away in the hospital a week later. No family should ever have to endure this kind of pain.

Lilly was a ball of energy who never sat still. She loved her animals, her go-cart, and anything that kept her outdoors. She had a fearless spirit, a little rebel in the best way, and absolutely adored her siblings. Lilly loved unicorns, ramen noodles, and candy; and she always dressed to impress. Her smile and personality left a lasting impression on everyone she met, and she made friends everywhere she went. She was, without a doubt, a proud daddy’s girl.

Paxton was a strong and loving boy who brings joy to those around him. He loved Minecraft, football, soccer, and watching YouTube. He was known for being a jokester and for the deep love he has for his siblings. Paxton enjoyed riding his four-wheeler, eating hot pockets and buffalo wings, and spending time with his family; especially his nanny, who holds a very special place in his heart.

As the family mourns the loss of Lilly and Paxton, they are also facing overwhelming financial burdens. These include funeral expenses, ongoing medical costs, temporary housing in hotels, and the need for professional cleaning services before they can return home.

The French family has always been the kind to show up for others; supporting their community, helping veterans and families in need, and giving whenever they could. Now, they need that same support in return.

Any donation, share, or prayer is deeply appreciated and will go directly toward helping ease the financial strain during this incredibly difficult time, allowing them to focus on grieving, healing, and being together as a family.

Thank you for standing with the French family.
