Support Kristin's Family Through Tragedy

Donation protected
On June 22, 2024, tragedy struck home.

Kristin, Tyson, and their two children, Makenzie (age 12) and Maverick (age 9), traveled from their home in Hawaii to Washington to say their final goodbyes to our beloved aunt who is battling cancer.

During this already emotional time, their world was turned upside down when Tyson unexpectedly passed away.

Now, Kristin is left to navigate the overwhelming reality of life without her loving husband, while Makenzie and Maverick must learn to grow up without their devoted father.

The emotional toll is immense, and the path ahead is filled with uncertainty.

Kristin is facing the daunting task of being a single mother, while her children are struggling to understand and cope with the sudden loss of their father.

I’ve created this GoFundMe Page to help ease the burden of my grieving sister and her family.

The funds raised will go towards everyday expenses, childcare, grief counseling, and any unforeseen costs that arise as they adjust to their new reality.

From the bottom of my heart, I humbly ask that you share this link with friends and family, keep Kristin, Mackenzie and Maverick in your prayers, and if possible, give what you can.

Every donation, no matter the size, will make a profound difference—it can provide my sister and her family with a sense of hope and relief during an incredibly challenging time.

Thank you for opening your hearts to support Kristin, Makenzie, and Maverick.

Your support reminds us that we’re not alone.
