<div>Our family is facing an unimaginable heartbreak after the sudden loss of three deeply loved members of our family: Jamie, Willie Jr., and Jaymison.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>There are no words that can truly express the pain of losing three precious lives. Each of them touched the lives of so many people and brought their own unique love, joy, and memories into our family and community. Their absence has left a space that can never be filled.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I am Jamie’s niece and Willie Jr. and Jaymison’s cousin, and I am creating this fundraiser on behalf of our family. As we navigate this devastating loss, we are asking for help with the unexpected expenses that come with laying our loved ones to rest. Funds raised will go toward funeral and memorial expenses, transportation, and other necessary costs related to their final arrangements. Rodney Charles, the father of Jamie and grandfather to both Willie Jr. and Jaymison, will be the beneficiary at this time.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our hope is to give Jamie, Willie Jr., and Jaymison the loving and respectful farewell they deserve while giving our family the space to grieve, come together, and begin healing.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you are able to donate, any amount is deeply appreciated. If you cannot, sharing this fundraiser or simply keeping our family in your thoughts and prayers means more than you know.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you to everyone who has reached out, shown love, and stood beside our family during this incredibly difficult time. We are truly grateful for your kindness and support.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Forever loved. Forever remembered. Forever missed.

Jamie, Willie Jr., and Jaymison's Funeral and Memorial Costs

<div>Over the past few weeks, life changed very quickly for Michael and his family. What started as shortness of breath, fatigue, and trouble breathing unexpectedly turned into a series of urgent scans, tests, specialist appointments, and hospital visits. Doctors discovered a mass in his right lung that caused part of his lung to collapse, along with additional findings that raised concerns the cancer may have spread beyond the lung. <strong>On Tuesday, May 12, doctors also found lesions on Michael’s brain, making the situation even more serious and overwhelming.</strong> Additional full-body scans are now needed to determine whether the cancer has spread elsewhere throughout his body. In what felt like the blink of an eye, we went from thinking this might be a respiratory issue to meeting with pulmonologists and oncologists, undergoing biopsies and imaging, and beginning discussions about treatment for metastatic adenocarcinoma.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>The speed and seriousness of everything has been overwhelming. Between ongoing appointments, upcoming treatments, time away from work, and the emotional toll this has taken on our family, we are facing challenges we never imagined just a short time ago. We are creating this GoFundMe to help ease some of the financial burden from medical expenses, lost income, travel, and everyday family needs so <strong>Michael can focus fully on fighting this battle.</strong>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>We are incredibly grateful for every prayer, message, donation, and act of support during this difficult time. It truly means more than we can put into words.

Support Michael Friend During Cancer Treatment

<div>If you know Kristi, you know she’s the one who shows up for everyone else.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>She’s a dedicated nurse, an incredible mom to her two girls, Adley and Isla, and the kind of friend who quietly takes care of others without ever asking for anything in return. That’s exactly why creating this fundraiser is so important because asking for help is not something she would ever do on her own.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>September 2025, Kristi had a lump examined on her neck after it did not go away. What started as a physical exam of the site turned into something much more serious. After an ultrasound and biopsy, it was determined the next step was an excision to further determine if her enlarged lymph node was of concern. During her procedure, the surgeon discovered the mass was deeper than expected. Her lymph node was removed and sent to pathology, where she received the life-changing diagnosis: Hodgkin lymphoma. A PET scan quickly followed. They were unable to stage the cancer until further testing was done as the PET scan showed possible bone marrow concerns. Thankfully following a bone marrow biopsy, they were able to rule out any involvement of her bone marrow. She was given a stage 2 diagnosis. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Since then, Kristi has begun chemotherapy treatments every two weeks, which will continue for the next six months. She most recently finished her 4th treatment, with 8 more to come. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As a nurse, Kristi is used to caring for patients face-to-face. But because chemotherapy weakens her immune system, she’s no longer able to work in her normal role. While she has been given the opportunity to work from home doing in-basket  tasks, the reality is that chemotherapy has made this incredibly difficult at times. Between medical appointments, chemotherapy side effects and mental strain intertwined with all that has been thrown her way it is hard to keep up consistent hours, although she is trying.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Through all of this, Kristi remains the main provider for her two daughters. Adley and Isla are active, vibrant kids involved heavily in sports. Adley is involved in competition dance and fastpitch softball. Isla is involved in hockey and fastpitch. Never leaving a dull moment on the table! They are truly the center of Kristi’s world.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As if this season wasn’t already heavy enough, their beloved dog Reed unexpectedly passed away last week, adding another layer of heartbreak to an already overwhelming time.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’m writing this not just as a friend, but as someone who has experienced firsthand the kind of person Kristi is. When I moved into the neighborhood 2.5 years ago knowing no one, she was the one who welcomed me in. She quickly became one of my closest friends, and our kids are growing up side by side. She is the kind of friend, mom, and human being who makes life better for everyone around her.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Now it’s our turn to show up for her.
</div>
<div>This fundraiser is to help ease the financial burden during her treatment, covering everyday expenses, medical bills and the gap created by reduced work hours. It’s about giving Kristi the ability to focus on what matters most right now: her health and her family during this 6-month treatment journey.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you’re able to donate, no amount is too small. If you can’t give at this time, sharing this page would mean just as much. Please continue to share this fundraiser on your social media and by texting/emailing those around you so this can be seen by those that would be interested in helping this incredible family out.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Let’s rally around Kristi the same way she has always shown up for others!

Support Kristi's fight against Stage II Hodgkins Lymphoma 

<div>We are creating this GoFundMe for our best friends, Alisha and Joe Hailey, and their family after a tragic car accident on December 9th, in which their son Owen sadly passed. Alisha is expected to make a full physical recovery, and she is surrounded by Joe and their children, Liam, Jada, and Lincoln, as they face this unimaginable heartbreak and begin to navigate the days ahead.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Owen was truly the life of the party. Even at just eight years old, he had a way of lighting up every room, making everyone laugh, and bringing so much joy to the people around him. He was deeply loved by his hockey family, school community, neighbors, friends, and everyone who had the privilege of knowing him. His energy, kindness, and big personality will be deeply missed.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>The Hailey family now faces not only overwhelming grief but also the unexpected financial burdens that come with such a tragedy. This fund will help support them with funeral expenses, time away from work, meals, and any other necessary items to provide them with space to grieve and care for one another.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Thank you for wrapping this family in love, strength, and support. Your generosity and kindness mean more than words can ever express.

</div>

Love and Strength for the Hailey Family
