Support for Kim, Brandon, Krue and Cindy - a family facing an unthinkable loss.

Since the end of 2023, Cindy Donnelly, has been living with her family, Kim and Brandon Donnelly, in Radium Hot Springs, BC, while bravely battling stage three triple-negative breast cancer. Kim and Brandon have been her primary caregivers since November 2024, making regular trips to Kelowna and Cranbrook to support her during her treatments. As Cindy continues to fight, she now faces the next step in her journey—a single mastectomy and lymph nodes surgery, scheduled for June.

Amid these immense challenges, Kim and Brandon have been preparing to welcome a baby girl. However, in an unimaginable turn of events, they received devastating news just last week. Their daughter was diagnosed with bilateral renal agenesis, a condition in which both kidneys are absent and is not compatible with life. This heartbreaking diagnosis means that their time with their daughter is incredibly limited.

The family will be traveling in the coming weeks for the delivery of their daughter at 22 weeks gestation, though the specific procedure and location are still unknown at this time. After delivery, they will be faced with the painful task of saying goodbye far too soon, and their daughter will be cremated as they begin the grief journey.

This family is enduring overwhelming emotional and financial burdens as they navigate this impossible situation. The costs of travel, medical expenses, and the loss they are enduring are significant, and we are asking for support during this unimaginable time for this family. Any contribution will go directly to easing their financial burdens as they focus on caring for Cindy and grieving the loss of their beloved daughter.

To respect their privacy during this incredibly sensitive time, the family asks that if you wish to support them in any way other than a donation, please reach out directly to Morgan Odland or Jenn Broadfoot. Your kindness and consideration will be deeply appreciated.

We are asking for support from all corners, including Kim’s family and friends in Australia. Donations from anyone, no matter where they are located, would mean the world to this family during the most difficult days of their lives.

Please consider donating to help this family as they face the most difficult days of their lives. Your support means the world to them during this heartbreaking time.
