Support Jack and Weston After Tragic Loss of mom, Georgette

Donation protected
Georgette and Nate Brown were unable to have children of their own. In 2005, they adopted their first child — a boy they named Jack. Georgette was present at his birth. It was the greatest hour of her life. Jack looked like a Who, from Whoville. Still does. He was one of those bright-eyed kids, his freckled face always glowing with wonder, with the look of a dreamer about him. And he adored the beach, Big Water, as he used to call it.

In 2006, Georgette and Nate adopted their second child, from the same biological mother who had given birth to Jack — and the Brown family finally felt whole. Weston was an indestructible boy who was forever running into doorknobs, falling into ditches, and thwacking his head into everything that crossed his path. He never yelped in pain, rarely even a squeak of discomfort. He just kept on moving — all motion and mischief.

If you were lucky enough to have spent any time laughing and wine-timing with George during this stage of her life, then you know just how refreshed and renewed her life and heart and soul had become. She was so excited for her future with her two boys. Life was nearly perfect.

In 2012, however, heartbreak struck. Nate’s crop-dusting airplane malfunctioned. It crashed. And Nate Brown — Jack and Weston’s real-life hero — never came home again.

A couple of years later, Georgette was diagnosed with breast cancer. She beat it. A decade later, though, the sickness came roaring back. Cancer took Georgette Brown in the Spring of 2025.

Jack and Weston are now 19 and 18 years old. They’re reeling with grief, loneliness, confusion, and a thousand questions that all begin with why or how. These young men have no mother, no father, no safety net. There are bills to take care of, and what they net from their jobs isn’t even enough to cover half of their monthly debts. They need help to pay for daily living expenses and bills as they continue to go to school and work, building a future for themselves.

In short, Jack and Weston need a helping hand…yours.

We’re asking this awesome community of people who loved Georgette so dearly to open your hearts as well as your wallets. It’s down to us to help the two people George loved most through a terrible time. No gift is too big or too small. The more we raise, the firmer the foundation we can build for Jack and Weston. They’ll need that bedrock to use as their footing, stable ground upon which to climb the steep hill to adulthood.

Please feel free to share with others that knew and loved this family and thank you so much for your help!
