Early Monday morning, our family suffered a heartbreaking loss. Brittany Islami, the mother of my two nieces and nephew was tragically killed when the motorcycle she was riding as a passenger was involved in a head-on collision with a motor vehicle.

Her three children—Hayleigh (12), Madison (10), and Logan (7)—were the center of her world. They are now facing the unimaginable loss of their mother while their family works to navigate this difficult new reality.

If you are able to give, no matter the amount, your generosity will help provide childcare and support for the children as our family comes together to care for Hayleigh, Madison, and Logan during the weeks and months ahead.

We also keep Officer Whiteside's family in our prayers as they mourn the heartbreaking loss of Cooper. He was deeply loved and cherished by many, and his absence will be felt by all who knew him.

Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and for keeping these children and both families in your thoughts and prayers during this incredibly difficult time.
