Support for Kaela's Family: Unexpected Loss

Donation protected
My name is Stephanie and recently my best friend Kaela of 19 years lost her husband Brandon of 6 years. They were together for 11. They have 2 children Bentley-10 and Kinzley-8. It has been a tragic loss and completey unexpected. Their story is one of my favorites to share. Years ago Kaela was over at my house and she said to me that I wish I could just meet a nice guy for once. We were just talking about life and I said you know I think I know someone whom would be the perfect match. I showed her Brandon's photo on FB and I said message him. He is a really great person. She did that night and from that moment, they were inseparable. They brought two beautiful children into the world and later married. Brandon had a son before they got together whom is now 19 and also has a 1 year old grandson. Brandon was always there for everyone and Kaela's rock. There are no words for this great loss. He was their main source of income and at 43 he didn't have anything set in case something like this ever happened as Kaela only works part time. I'm hoping to raise money to help her through this tragic loss of a wonderful husband, father, grandpa, and friend.
