On August 8th, my dear friend suffered the unimaginable loss of her son, Malachi Wynn, to senseless gun violence. He was taken far too soon, leaving behind a grieving mother, daughter, brother, family, and friends whose lives will never be the same.

No parent should have to bury their child, and no words can truly capture the depth of her pain. During this time of heartbreak, we want to help lift some of the financial burden so she can focus on mourning and celebrating her son’s life.

The funds raised will go toward funeral and memorial expenses, as well as any additional needs the family faces as they navigate this tragedy.

If you are able, please consider donating — any amount, big or small, is a blessing. If you cannot give financially, we ask that you keep this family in your prayers and share this page to spread the word.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your love, kindness, and support during this devastating time.
