I'm raising funds to support my younger brother, “D,” and myself after the sudden passing of our father, Darryl Carroll, on July 30, 2026. With our mother, Jessica Leeth, having already passed away in December 2020 after her long battle with breast cancer, the two of us are left to face life without either of our parents at just 21 and 12 years old.

With me attending college and my brother in middle school, we were completely dependent on our dad for our home, finances, and daily support. He dedicated himself to caring for his family, and even after the loss of our mother, his wife, he continued to hold us close no matter what.

Without our father, my brother and I are facing an unimaginable amount of change while in the midst of grieving our dad. We are urgently preparing to relocate cross-country to be with our extended family, who are graciously supporting us through our loss.

Funds raised will help cover costs of laying our dad to rest, transporting our personal belongings during the cross-country move, accessing specialized and compassionate services to support my brother’s needs as a child with ASD, and any other unexpected expenses that come with rebuilding our lives.

Any contributions, no matter the amount, as well as shares across any platform would mean so much to us. Thank you for taking the time to read our story and supporting my little brother and me as we mourn our family.
