We are asking for help on behalf of three children who just lost their dad, Chris Hillman, in a tragic road accident.

Chris leaves behind three kids who loved him deeply:

Nico, his son with my sister, Leslie Hillman, Keira, and Phynix, his two daughters

Their worlds have been turned upside down. Nico is too young to fully understand what’s happened, but he knows his dad isn’t coming home. Keira and Phynix are facing their teenage and young adult years without their father’s guidance, support, and presence at all the milestones he was so excited to see.

This fundraiser is focused on supporting Chris’s children—now and in the years ahead.

Your donations will go toward things like:

Helping ensure Nico’s daily needs and stability are taken care of as Leslie navigates life as a single parent

Supporting Keira and Phynix with practical needs during this transition (school-related costs, basic living expenses, and opportunities their dad would have wanted them to have)

Contributing to the kids’ emotional and mental health needs, such as grief counseling or therapy

Building some longer-term security for them as they move forward without their father

Losing a parent is heartbreaking. Losing one so suddenly, so young, is something no child should have to endure. Our hope is that, with help from family, friends, and compassionate strangers, these kids can feel the love and support of a wider community.

If you are able, please consider donating to help care for Nico, Keira, and Phynix. No amount is too small. If you’re not in a position to give, sharing this fundraiser also means a great deal.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for thinking of Chris’s children and for helping keep some light in their lives during such a dark time.
