Hayley was a bright, shining light in the lives of everyone who knew her. Her kindness, compassion, and joyful spirit touched so many, and her loss is felt deeply by her family and friends. Hayley always put others first, never wanting to burden anyone with her own struggles. Her honest joy and pure magic made every moment brighter. She took on everyone else’s pain and problems while pushing her own aside to make room for others to heal. She loved bigger than most, and because of that, her absence has left an abysmal hole in our lives and hearts.
She leaves behind the love of her life, her husband Erik, and their two beautiful daughters, Isla and Margot, who were Hayley’s entire world. Erik and the girls are now faced with the enormous task of figuring out how to move forward without their beautiful matriarch. Hayley was always the first to offer a kind word, a home-cooked meal, or a shoulder to cry on for anyone in need. Now let’s show up big for her sweet little family, the way she always showed up for others.
This fundraiser is dedicated to supporting Hayley’s family as they navigate the road ahead. While a non-profit is assisting with some funeral costs, there are still expenses to cover. Erik and the girls need time and space to grieve without the added stress of financial worry. Funds raised will help with any remaining funeral costs, support Erik and the girls as they adjust to living on a single income, and provide extended care for Isla and Margot. Any extra support will help Erik take time away from work so he can be present for his daughters during this heartbreaking time.
Any contribution, no matter the amount, will make a meaningful difference for Erik, Isla, and Margot. Thank you for helping honor Hayley’s memory and for supporting her family as they find their way forward. Your kindness will help ease their burden and remind them they’re surrounded by love and have a huge community to lean on.
If you’re unable to contribute financially right now, please help us share this far and wide. If you’d rather show up with a home-cooked meal than a donation, we’re also setting up a meal delivery sign-up platform. There is one for Erik and the girls, and one for Hayley’s family. Every small gesture matters to help this family we love so much. We see you, we appreciate you, and we love you for it. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
