Help Brian Rouse Support Tracey Brown's Children After Loss

It is with a heavy heart that I have to make this page. I have created this page for funeral expenses and financial support for my cousin Tracey Brown's children. My cousin Tracey was admitted to the hospital the first week of March. After many tests, Tracey was found to have a series of strokes, making a total of four, one occurring three weeks or more before the new set occurred. Unfortunately, this left Tracey in a vegetative state. A decision was made, and Tracey was taken off life support on March 7, 2025, at 8 pm. She passed soon after.

Tracey leaves behind her three children: Jacob, age 19; Kaleb, 15; and Serenity, 12. Tracey's children were solely dependent on her, as their father is currently not present in their lives. Kaleb is on dialysis and in need of a kidney transplant. Jacob goes with Kaleb three, maybe four times a week to the U of M for dialysis, so he is currently unable to work because he has to take Kaleb to dialysis.

Tracey's children have been placed in the care of her brother, my cousin Brian Rouse, and his wife Sarah. They now have a total of seven children they are overseeing. The plan is to keep the children in their home, but before they go back, there are loose ends that need to be tended to. Due to Tracey being unable to work the last couple of years, a lot of things have to be replaced and started anew, such as clothes, furniture, household decor, dishes, and so forth. Brian is also tending to his mother, who is currently in the hospital and then going to rehab. She lived with Tracey and will eventually come home.

This has become a lot for my cousin Brian to carry on his shoulders. That is why I come to you for help. They need a village right now! The funds from this page will go directly into an account that Brian has made for Tracey's children. These funds will go towards funeral expenses, items needed, food, bills, and so forth.

Any little bit will help, and we will be so grateful. I want to thank everyone in advance who will donate. Also, a HUGE thank you to those who already have. Thank you!!
