Dear friends and family,

My name is Stephanie Schmidt, and I am reaching out to ask for your kindness and support on behalf of my dear friend, Alice Derrow and her husband Justin, who are going through one of the most heartbreaking times a parent can endure. Alice and Justin’s beloved son, Dalton Lee Derrow, passed away unexpectedly, leaving behind not only a void that words cannot fill but also emotional and financial burdens that no one should have to face alone.

Alice and Justin are the kind of people who show up for others without hesitation. They’ve faced life’s challenges together, always putting their two beautiful children at the heart of everything. The unexpected passing of their beloved son, Dalton, has left both the Derrow and Helms families heartbroken. We will forever cherish Dalton’s radiant smile and his sweet, infectious giggle that brought joy to everyone around him.

In addition to the unimaginable emotional pain, Alice and Justin now face the difficult task of managing funeral expenses, time away from work, and the many costs that come with such a sudden tragedy.

We are raising funds to help relieve the financial stress so Alice and Justin can grieve and heal without the added weight of mounting expenses. The donations will go directly toward:

Every contribution, no matter the amount, will make a meaningful difference. If you’re unable to donate at this time, sharing this page with your friends and family would mean the world to us.

Let’s come together to support Alice and Justin, just as they have supported so many others throughout their life.

Thank you for your love, compassion, and generosity.

With gratitude,

Stephanie Schmidt
