Support the Bartlett Children

On behalf of Urbana Youth Cheer, the Urbana Rec Council, the greater Urbana Community, including local businesses and organizations, Maryland Twisters MoCo, the Kemptown ES and Windsor Knolls MS community, clients and friends, we are establishing a fund to support the Bartlett children: McKenzie (11), Kylah (11), Brinklee (7), and Tiernan (5). All four girls attend school in Kemptown/Ijamsville and are recreational and competitive cheerleaders.
 
Ashley Bartlett, Mother to these amazing four girls, died tragically on January 22, 2022. She was the owner of Gloss Hair & Beauty Co., a community volunteer, Urbana Rec Council Secretary, a Cheerleading Coach, and a PTA Volunteer. Ashley was a fierce supporter of her children and their activities. To know Ashley was to know the warmth of her loving spirit, how brightly she could shine throughout adversity, her incredible strength and most of all her infinite love for her children, who were absolutely everything to her.
 
The best way we can honor Ashley's legacy is through service to others, specifically her beloved children. The loss of her income and the relocation of her children bring unforeseen expenses. In order to provide as much normalcy as possible in this incredibly difficult time, we want to support her children in the following ways:
  • Support their Father/Family with the gas expenses of getting them to and from their regular school and Cheerleading Gym
  • Support the girls with their competition cheerleading expenses, including traveling to and attending their competitions, especially their season-end competition (The Summit) in Orlando, Florida
  • Support their Father/Family with significantly increased bills to cover food expenses, utilities, and insurance
  • Set aside money to support the girls' educational and long-term expenses
As a friend of the family, I have initiated this fundraiser. However, the beneficiary of these funds is the Children's Father, Justin Bartlett, whose care they are in. These funds will be set aside by their Father to use specifically for the care of the Bartlett children as described above.

We have a strong community and have been contacted by hundreds of people who know this sweet family from Texas and Florida to our local community. We know you all want to help and in coordinating with their family, this is this is truly the most urgent current and long-term need. We are trusting those who loved Ashley and love these girls to do what they can to support them and let them know how very loved they are.
 
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your support.
