Hi, my name is Trish, and I hope to help support my best friend, Brittany, through the most traumatic time of her life. She lost her partner, Corey this week. A devastating, unthinkable and tragic nightmare she has to navigate through. Corey and Brittany lived together and spent several years in and out of each other's lives, but they always found a way back together. Brittany needs to focus on healing, grieving and processing this, and my hope is her community that loves and supports her can come together to help offset some of the financial burdens/stressors. These donations will help with any funeral/memorial costs or any healing work she would like to pursue and take time away from work. Anything helps and is genuinely appreciated. Our hearts, thoughts and prayers are with her and their loved ones. Please see her tribute below:

From Brittany:

"It is with a completely broken heart that I share the news about my best friend and love of my life…. Corey Martin ended his life after a long battle with depression Sunday night. I have no words to describe the pain I feel. I’ve spent the last 9 years loving him and we shared the most rare, beautiful connection. Our bond was timeless. We never gave up one one another and we always found our way back to each other. He shaped me into the woman I am today. He was my soulmate and I don’t know if I will ever get over this. I can’t believe this is real. He was so special. I’d give anything to rewind the clock to hear his laugh. To look into his eyes. To hold his hand. To lay on his chest. To cook a meal with him. To brush our teeth together. To talk about our future together. I’d do anything to have him back here with me. I love you so much baby, you were the greatest love I’ve ever know. Life will never be the same without you. Please come back to me. This cannot be real. "
