Hi, my name is Sydney, and I'm reaching out with a heavy heart during one of the hardest times of my life. On April 19th, my beloved husband, David, passed away after a long and tough battle with cancer. He fought hard and just two weeks ago made it to see his 44th birthday. I have been blessed by GOD for giving me the opportunity to love this man for the last 11 years. He was the heart of our family—our rock, our strength, our provider, and the one who made every day brighter. He blessed me with 2 beautiful daughters, Mackenzie and Anastaja. And now we stand here with the overwhelming weight of figuring out how to move forward without him.

As we try to navigate this new reality, every contribution will help us cover essentials like food, housing, and bills, giving us a little breathing room as we grieve and try to rebuild. Your support means more than words can express, and it will help us find hope in a time of heartbreak.

In the midst of this deep sorrow, we are leaning heavily on our faith. We believe God is walking with us through this valley, and we find comfort in the prayers and support from our family and friends. Knowing that so many are lifting us up in prayer gives us strength and hope for the days ahead. We trust that, with God’s help and the kindness of others, we will find a way to heal and provide for my children.

Any donation, no matter the size, will make a real difference in helping us stay in our home, care for our kids, and begin to heal as a family. Even sharing this page with friends and family means the world to us. We are so grateful for the love and support we've already received from our community, and we know David would be touched by the kindness being shown to us now. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for helping us through this. Your generosity will allow us to focus on what matters most—being there for each other and honoring the life and love David gave us every single day. With deep gratitude,

Sydney Braden
