Support Baylee and Carissa's Children Reunion
Donation protected
Baylee Gonzales, a resident of Clark County, Washington, lost her best friend, Carissa Larkin, in July 2024. Carissa was tragically murdered by her partner, suffering four gunshot wounds. Prior to her death, she had secured a protection order through the Clark County court system—but heartbreakingly, the order did not extend to protect her shared children.
Following Carissa’s death, her three children lived with Baylee for several months, before they moved with an aunt in California. Now, after months apart, the children will visit their hometown and reunite with Baylee and her family—their late mother’s best friend and soul sister—in just three weeks.
Donations can help provide Baylee and the children with simple joys like a pizza night out, a trip to the trampoline park, or a fun day around their hometown.
End Child Abuse Washington is raising funds to support Baylee, her family, and Carissa’s children in creating a joyful, healing, and memorable reunion. Your contribution can help make this moment truly special.
