Support Kacey Through This Tragic Time

"Supporting Kacey in a Time of Tragedy"

On March 3rd, a tragic accident changed Kacey's life forever. While the details have been widely discussed, what’s often lost is the immense pain and heartbreak she is facing right now. Regardless of opinions, this is a time for compassion, and she needs our support.
Kacey and her 20-month-old daughter, Ophelia, were involved in a devastating 3-car accident. Tragically, baby Ophelia did not survive the impact and passed away. Kacey, who was rushed to the ICU, suffered life-threatening injuries, including a shattered pelvis, broken clavicle, and upper arm, as well as a lacerated liver, broken ribs, and bruised lungs. While Kacey fights to recover from her serious injuries, she is facing not only an incredibly painful and uncertain road to healing, but also the unimaginable grief of losing her precious daughter. The emotional, physical, and financial burdens are overwhelming, and we are asking for your support to help ease some of this hardship.

I am best friends with the family and was asked to help create this fundraiser, as Kacey is not in the position to do so at this time.
All donations will be wired & given to Kacey to go directly towards the cost of funeral & burial expenses for Ophelia, who tragically lost her young life in the accident. We also ask for prayers and positive thoughts for Kacey as she faces this heartbreaking journey ahead. Thank you for your love, kindness, and support.

If you feel moved to help, any donation — no matter how small — would mean the world. Please consider her as she faces this incredibly painful journey.
