Support Vanessa & Kids After Bill's Tragic Loss

On July 20, 2025, Vanessa Benes and her three beautiful children—Bronson, Bella, and Sullivan—suffered an unimaginable tragedy. Her beloved husband, William “Bill” Benes, was taken from them in a sudden and tragic car accident, leaving behind a heartbroken family and a community in mourning.

Bill was more than a husband and father—he was the heart and foundation of his family. A devoted partner to Vanessa and a loving, hands-on dad, Bill brought warmth, humor, and steadiness to every part of life. Whether he was cheering the kids on at swim meets, dive competitions, or cheer events, he was always there with love, encouragement, and pride.

Vanessa is now faced with the overwhelming task of navigating life without him—caring for their three children while managing immense grief and unexpected financial hardship. This fundraiser was created to help ease that burden. Donations will go toward funeral expenses, day-to-day living costs, and ensuring Bronson, Bella, and Sullivan have the support and stability they need during this incredibly difficult time.

If you’re able to donate, your support would mean the world. No amount is too small, and every contribution makes a difference. If you're not in a position to give, please consider sharing this page to help spread the word.
