Helping to Offset Costs for Killy

Donation protected
On June 30th, Alexa Dempsey and her fiancé lost their four month old, Killy, to meningitis. His loss leaves a profound hole in the hearts of everyone who knew him. 

This is is a nightmare no parent, no family, should ever have to experience. And while they are currently surrounded by loving family, they face a very hard few weeks ahead.

The financial goal of this campaign is to help offset funerary costs to alleviate some of the stress they face in the coming days. While the budget right now is an estimate and may change with more information, anything raised beyond the goal will be put to helping the parents for bereavement time and any necessary help they may need picking up the pieces. 

Please, out of respect for the family, no politicizing this tragedy on this page. This is not the time to proselytize. This is the time to come together and help a family going through something no human should ever have to face. Any comments deemed inappropriate or offensive to the family will be removed immediately.
