Hi everyone,

My name is Chantal, and I am Baleigh's best friend. I'm organizing this fundraiser because I've witnessed firsthand the incredible strength, grace, and resilience she continues to show despite enduring more hardship than anyone should have to face. Baleigh has always been the first to offer love, care, and support to others, and now it's our turn to show up as a community for Baleigh and her family.

Baleigh and her family are in crisis and need our help.

After losing her father in 2023, she has faced unimaginable hardships and legal fees. As a full-time student, opening an Ayurvedic clinic, and preparing to welcome her second child at the end of October, she is drowning in debt, behind on rent and utilities, and struggling to provide for her family’s basic needs.

Baleigh and Cody are incredible and devoted parents who have made many sacrifices to provide for their little family. Their love, resilience, and commitment to one another and their children are truly inspiring.

This sweet family has been a pillar in our community, always showing up with kindness, generosity, and open hearts for those in need.

The stress has profoundly impacted her health and pregnancy. She is now anemic and facing other health issues and is at risk of birth complications. Her partner, Cody, has been holding everything together, caring for their 5-year-old daughter, and supporting Baleigh through it all, but they cannot carry this weight alone.

In addition to financial contributions, their baby registry is linked here for anyone who would like to help by purchasing much-needed baby supplies and postpartum care items for Baleigh. These gifts will go directly toward supporting her recovery and helping them prepare for the arrival of their daughter in a few weeks.

We are asking our community to rally around Baleigh and her family to help cover housing, baby essentials, medical bills, and living expenses as they navigate this challenging season. Baleigh’s need for support from our community is long overdue. Every contribution, no matter the size, will make a real difference in keeping this family safe, supported, and cared for.

Let’s show up for Baleigh the way she has always shown up for others.
