"It is with heavy hearts that we share the news of Daphne's passing after her courageous battle with cancer. She was a loving wife to TJ and a devoted mother to her two teenage sons, Hunter & Hudson. As their friends and family, we've all been touched by Daphne's warmth, strength, and unwavering spirit. The "fight" she had in her was an inspiration for us all.

Many of you have reached out asking how you can help TJ and the boys during this incredibly difficult time. Your kindness and support mean the world to them.

Above all else, TJ and the boys want to stay in their home, in their community, and within their school district. Maintaining this sense of normalcy is crucial for them as they navigate this profound loss and begin to rebuild their lives. Being in their home provides them with stability and a sense of belonging that is so vital for them at this time.

Financially, TJ now faces the daunting reality of being a single-income household. Daphne's long and valiant fight against cancer took a significant toll. The costs associated with her care – co-pays, countless doctor appointments, hospital stays, and travel expenses – have depleted their savings. Adding to this burden, Daphne was unable to secure life insurance during her illness, leaving TJ to shoulder these financial challenges alone.

Our goal is to raise $100,000 to help TJ provide a stable and secure future for Hunter & Hudson. These funds will provide a financial base that they need while he navigates the days ahead while allowing the boys to remain in their home, continue their education without disruption and remain around their loving community to support them. Your contribution, no matter the size, will make a tangible difference in their lives, offering them a lifeline during this painful transition.

• How Your Donation Will Help:

◦ Housing Stability: Ensuring they can stay in their home and community.

◦ Education: Supporting the boys' continued education and extracurricular activities.

◦ Essential Expenses: Covering daily living costs as TJ adjusts to single-income life.

TJ and the boys are incredibly grateful for the outpouring of love and support they have already received. Your generosity will not only ease their financial burden but will also remind them that they are not alone in this journey.

Please consider donating and sharing this campaign with your network. Together, we can help TJ and the boys find strength and hope in the face of unimaginable loss.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
