Support Chantel Apathy (Branfield) and her son

Donation protected
Hi, my name is Kristen, and Chantel has been my best friend since we were six years old. She’s been there for me for 26 years, through thick and thin, and I know she’s done the same for many others. Now it’s our turn to show up for her. She and her three year old son, Colin, are going through the unimaginable right now with the sudden loss of their husband and father, Chris, on December 23rd. With this tragedy, their lives have been upturned in so many ways, and will need the love and support of family and friends as they navigate the weeks and months ahead. Chris worked so hard to support his family so that Chantel could be a stay at home mom. Now with Chris’s untimely death, Chantel is left without a source of income to pay their mortgage, utilities, health and car insurance, and buy groceries on top of medical bills from Chris’s hospital stay and funeral costs.

I knew Chris was a keeper when Chantel arranged a lunch date so I could meet him, and I was right! His friends and family can attest to the joy he brought to their lives. He absolutely adored Chantel and Colin. Honor his memory by giving his sweet little family the gift of time to grieve and heal without the worry of such overwhelming financial burden.

Thank you! You don’t know how much they need and appreciate the help.
