My name is Nicole, I am Nate's Aunt, and I am reaching out on behalf of the family during an unimaginable time. Recently, we lost Prestin in a tragic accident caused by a repeat drunk driver who is currently being charged with 2 counts of DUI causing serious injury and refusing DUI testing, all while Zaiden continues to fight for recovery. The driver responsible was uninsured & unlicensed, leaving us to face overwhelming final expenses, medical bills, and the challenge of covering living costs while Destiny/Nate, Tom/Amanda—the boys' parents—are off work to care for Zaiden and grieve the loss of Prestin.

The funds raised will go directly to the boys' parents, supporting Destiny/Nate, and Tom/Amanda as they navigate this heartbreak. Your support will help cover funeral and final expenses for Prestin, ongoing medical costs for Zaiden, and essential living expenses for the family while they are unable to work. Every donation, no matter the size, will make a real difference in easing the financial burden and allowing the family to focus on healing and supporting each other.

We are grateful for any help you can offer during this difficult time. If you are able, please consider donating or sharing our story. Your kindness and support mean so much to our family as we try to move forward and care for each other.

UPDATE:

It is with the heaviest hearts that we share the heartbreaking news that our sweet Zaiden has passed away.

There are no words to express the pain we are feeling or the emptiness his loss has left behind. Zaiden brought so much love, joy, and light into our lives, and he will forever be loved and deeply missed by everyone who knew him.

During this incredibly difficult time, we ask for your prayers for our family as we navigate this unimaginable loss. We are greatful for the love, support, and kindess that has already been shown to us.

We will share information regarding services and ways to honor Zaiden and Prestin as those plans are finalized.
