Support Debbie and Hartley After Kenny's Loss

Donation protected
Raising Money to help support Debbie and Hartley after the loss of Kenny.

Dear Friends and Family,

Seven months ago, Kenny was diagnosed with cancer. From day one, he fought with courage, humor, and unwavering love for his wife Debbie and their bright-eyed daughter, 9-year-old Hartley. As a close family friend, I watched Kenny face each obstacle, never letting go of hope or his quick wit.

Tragically, Kenny passed away on Wednesday April 30th, leaving Debbie and Hartley devastated. Debbie devoted every ounce of herself to caring for him—driving to appointments, advocating for his care, and standing by his side at the hospital. In recent weeks, she lost her job in part because she couldn’t be away from Kenny. Now, they’re facing the overwhelming burden of funeral expenses, mortgage payments, and everyday bills on a single income.

Hartley, who has grown up alongside my own daughter, has lost her hero. She deserves stability, love, and the chance to continue experiencing a happy childhood despite this heart-breaking loss.
