Aloha friends and family,

I am at a loss for words so I will keep this short. This past week, Dustin (Ivey's dad) lost his longstanding battle with mental illness. Ivey was his world and he fought extremely hard to be there for her and it goes without saying that Dustin was an instrumental part of Ivey's world and his absence leaves behind a gaping hole in many hearts.

While there are many unknowns in the path that lies ahead, we want to come together to support Ivey and Melanie as they make their way through these unimaginable circumstances. Funds raised will be used for immediate needs and to provide some relief during this time, and every donation will make a truly significant difference.

Let's show up for our friends and let them know that this community has their backs. I will post updates as they become available but I know that Melanie is so grateful to all the wonderful people in this community, as am I.

With deepest sorrow, and heartfelt gratitude,

Caitlin
