Support for the Balgord Family

On Wednesday April 24th, our community lost an incredible father, loving husband, devoted family member, and deeply cherished friend when Ben Balgord died by suicide. As you may know, Ben and his wife Megan have two wonderful young kiddos, Cora (5) and Beckett (3). Ben loved his kids so much and would do anything for them. We know he'd want them to be taken care of in every way possible.

This fund is intended to help Cora and Beckett (and of course, Megan) in the months and years ahead - whether that's daycare, education, camps, healthcare, or taking the time and space they need to heal.

Ben's friends, always a source of light and love in his life, have established a meal train to support the Balgords in the weeks to come. If you're able to contribute, please visit: https://mealtrain.com/qoodrl

Thank you for supporting the Balgord family through this unimaginable tragedy, whether financially or with your love. Ben was full of life- bursting with love, warmth, curiosity, empathy, and joy. To know Ben was to feel simultaneously at ease, entertained, and inspired. We were very lucky to have him in our lives and will miss him forever.
