Hello, my name is Cole. I never imagined I would be writing something like this.

My family is facing the unthinkable. My sister was tragically taken from us in a homicide, leaving her two young children without their mother. They are now in my full care, and I am committed to giving them the love, protection, and stability they need to rebuild their lives after such a traumatic loss.

These children are not just grieving — they witnessed the events that took their mother’s life. Their world changed in an instant. They are hurting deeply and will require long-term emotional support, therapy, and a consistent, safe environment to begin healing.

I am doing everything in my power to be their foundation. To provide them the life they deserve, I am working to relocate into a larger, stable home and secure a reliable vehicle for school, counseling appointments, daily needs, and safety. Taking emergency custody meant leaving work, and unexpected responsibilities have completely drained my resources.

I am humbly asking for help during this life-altering moment.

Your support will go directly toward:

Safe housing for the kids

Reliable transportation

Counseling and child-care needs

Essentials as we transition into this new chapter

No donation is too small — truly, every contribution brings us one step closer to stability, healing, and hope. If you are unable to donate, sharing this page means just as much.

Thank you for holding our family in your heart during this painful time. Your kindness, prayers, and support are helping us take the first steps forward.

With gratitude,

Cole
