On September 4, 2023 I had to experience the beginning of a never ending heartache…. I lost my only son, who had just turned 16 years old. It was a beautiful September morning that we made plans for. Our plan was to gather myself and my 5 children (if possible) to go and enjoy a family day together with cooking out, kayaking, fishing, and all together fun…. Half way through the day onlookers got my attention asking if a group of kids was with us… I ran over to hear my twins yelling that their sister was drowning… I was a little relieved when I saw them bringing her to shore until I realized that I did not see my son anywhere in sight. It was at that point that panic hit a high that I never knew it could. I was informed that my baby boy was yet to be found and that they had to go back out to find him. My heart broke… I prayed and asked others to pray with me for the recovery of my son. After an hour of nothing my heart shattered.

my baby boy was discovered on that day, we buried him some weeks later, and at times I feel as this part of me has been buried with him. As a mom who still has a set of 7 year old twins to raise I am struggling to find my way sometimes daily. If I could just get away is alll I say to myself. Which is the purpose of this fundraiser… to be able to get away again. Myself and my babies.

if you find it in your heart to donate to the cause I appreciate it, if you find it in your heart to send a prayer on our behalf I greatly appreciate it!!!!!

If I could just breath again….
