Like-Hearted Funding

Fund A Family In Need

Recognizing the emotional and financial strain that comes with the sudden death of a child, the foundation aims to alleviate the burden of funeral and burial costs. Like-Hearted Funding embodies the foundation’s commitment to supporting families during this most difficult time, helping them honor their child’s memory with dignity.

Like-Hearted Funding is our fund-raising platform to help our families offset the financial aspect of their loss. It is much like other crowd-funding platforms where a description and picture are included, but different in that there are no fees taken from the campaign. All funds raised will serve to buffer the cost of laying the family’s child to rest. Any funds raised beyond the needs will be given to the family after all funeral costs have been covered. We, along with the family, promote the fundraiser on all social media platforms and encourage engagement from family, friends and community in coming together to meet the need. Like-Hearted Funding ensures that grieving parents can focus on healing without the added stress of financial hardship.

Though his time on earth was far too short, Kayson filled every day with a lifetime of love, joy, and unforgettable memories. From the very beginning, he amazed everyone around him. He held his little head up almost as soon as he was born, as if he was eager to take on the world. He never liked to sit still, always curious and ready to explore. Kayson was incredibly bright, often seeming to understand things no baby his age possibly could. He had his own special way of “talking,” and somehow, Mom and Dad always knew exactly what he was trying to say.

His beautiful gummy smile could light up any room, bringing comfort, happiness, and hope to everyone fortunate enough to see it. He was deeply loved every moment of his life and, in return, gave a love that will remain in the hearts of his family forever.

Kayson is lovingly survived by his devoted parents, Jamie Ann Finckel and Shawndall Anthony Parker; his great-grandparents; grandparents; godparents; aunts; uncles; cousins; and so many other family members and friends whose lives were forever touched by his precious spirit.

Although our arms ache from missing him, we find comfort in knowing that love does not end with goodbye. Kayson’s tiny footprints have left an everlasting mark on our hearts, and his memory will be cherished every day for the rest of our lives.

Forever loved. Forever missed. Forever our sweet baby boy.
