Yesterday, after a festive and fun End of 2nd Grade celebration at school, Peyton Knowlton was biking home with her stepdad and was tragically struck by a car. She did not survive.



Peyton was our son, Alder's, best friend. Alder always said that Peyton understood him more than any other friend had, and he felt he could simply be himself with her. Her loss is devastating to our family.



More importantly, her family is suffering and needs help. Her mother, Mindy Shetley, is the main income provider for their family. She has been supporting their family, including Peyton & her sister, Skylar, while Cody, Peyton's stepdad was going back to school. They are bereft and, understandably, concerned about making ends meet for their family.



We've started this fundraiser in an effort to support the Shetley's during this tragic time, in hopes that their financial burdens may be relieved during their bereavement.



Please help in any way you can. Any contribution, large or small, will have significant impact and help this loving, sweet family in ways only imaginable.



Sincerely,

Kandace Cahill, Kimberly Jackson and Alder Jackson Cahill
