Support Michael and His 7 Children After Tragic Loss

Help a Father of 7 After the Sudden Loss of His Wife of 30 Years.

Janet wasn’t just a mother of seven—she was a force.

A steady, loving, irreplaceable soul who poured every ounce of herself into her family.

If you’ve ever loved someone who made you laugh on your hardest day…

If you’ve ever struggled silently and wished someone saw you…

If you’ve ever believed in community, in family, in showing up when it matters… Please help this sweet family.

She raised their children, even with special needs, through love, patience, and sacrifice.

She was the rock of her family, and her home operated with the most love a person could give…

She was everything—a wife, a storyteller, a home-birth warrior, a homeschooling mother of seven, and had the biggest heart in the world.

She gave her whole life to raising her children with love, humor, and grace. She even survived a near-death birth.

On the morning of June 26th, Janet passed away suddenly from heart failure.

There was no warning.

One moment, she was everything, and the next, she was gone.

Her husband, Michael, is now left to care for their children alone while grieving the love of his life, high school sweetheart, the woman who was his entire world.

And the truth is… this family has already been through so much.

Earlier this year, Michael suffered a shoulder injury that required surgery. As the sole provider, this left the family financially behind.

Even with those setbacks, they never stopped trying. Never stopped loving. Never stopped holding their family together.

But now, with Janet gone, the weight of it all is unbearable.

This family didn’t deserve this. And they shouldn’t have to face it alone.

Janet’s passing leaves an enormous hole, emotionally, financially, spiritually.

Their world has been completely upended.

Please consider helping.

• Donations will go directly to keeping the children fed, clothed, housed, safe, as well as help them keep their familiarity in their space and catch up with some cushion.

• Your support gives Michael and the children time to grieve, recover, and rebuild the life they fought so hard to create.

• If you can’t give, please share. Every share is a hand on their back.

Janet’s children are kind, respectful, and full of heart—echoes of the woman who raised them.

Michael is quiet, humble, and still standing—even in his sorrow.

Let’s show this family that even when the world feels cruel, love still shows up.

From our hearts—thank you.
