Haley has been a part of my life since she was just eight weeks old, starting in my daycare and quickly becoming like a daughter to me. Over the past 33 years, our bond has only grown stronger, and I have watched her become a devoted mother, wife, and friend to so many.

Twelve days ago, Haley suffered an irreversible traumatic brain injury and is now on life support. She has a newborn daughter, a three-year-old son, two step sons ages 13 and 15, an 8 year old stepdaughter, and a loving husband, Austin. This tragedy has left her family facing unimaginable emotional pain and uncertainty about the future. Austin is now facing immense medical expenses due to Haley’s extended stay in intensive care, loss of income, and ongoing costs like formula, diapers, and daily needs. The funds raised will help relieve the financial burden so Austin can focus on healing and caring for their children rather than worrying about how to make ends meet during this heartbreaking time.

Everyone who knows Haley knows how much she loves children. She earned her master’s degree in developmental psychology, hoping to help children and open a daycare one day. Haley already had the name of her dream daycare picked out: Hopes and Dreams Daycare. Haley would want Austin to focus on the children and healing, not financial stress. Please help to take the financial burden off Austin so he can do just that. Your support, whether through a donation or by sharing this fundraiser, means the world to this family.
