Hi everyone, my name is Braylee Maksimov and I’m 19 years old. I’m starting this fundraiser for my family due to a sudden unexpected passing. My step dad, Judson Bailey, has unfortunately passed away this past Sunday. He was an amazing father, husband, brother, son, and friend. Even though I wasn’t his child by blood, he always accepted me as his own daughter and supported me through everything. He was such a hard worker and the most lovable person you could ever meet. There wasn’t a soul he couldn’t get along with. He always put us first and he is the reason our family is as blessed as we are today. My mom, my little sister and I are now torn to pieces trying to figure out how we’re ever going to get better from this. I know my mom is going to need support with keeping our mortgage paid and keeping us all fed, as well as the funeral expenses and cremation and so on… and while i’m doing as much as I can to help, I know it won’t be enough. I really don’t have many words to say as this is so unexpected. I’m not sure what to do from here, but anything would help and be greatly appreciated. I want money to be the least of my mom’s worries right now. Thank you.
