On Saturday, October 26th, Hayden Smith, a loving father to Caroline, 6, and Wesson, 4, was shot and killed at Spanky’s bar in Abilene, Texas. As the family navigates this unimaginable loss, they are still gathering details about the tragic loss.

To support Caroline and Wesson during this difficult time, we have set up a GoFundMe campaign. All contributions will go directly towards the children's needs, ensuring they have the support and stability they deserve. Funds will also be allocated to provide Caroline and Wesson with therapy and other resources.

Hayden was not just an incredible welder; he was a dedicated father and a passionate lover of the outdoors. His laughter and joy lit up every room he entered, and he worked tirelessly to provide for his family. As a devoted son, he cherished his loved ones deeply.

This fundraiser is organized by Chelsey, the aunt of Caroline and Wesson. Thank you for your support.
