Support Jillian and Iggy After Kevin's Passing

A little over 6 months ago, Kevin Mense was diagnosed with a rare form of blood cancer. The last few months were filled with ups, downs, and uncertainties as Kevin fought for his life every single day. It is with the heaviest of hearts that we let you know that Kevin passed away on Monday, January 20th.

Kevin left behind the most beautiful, young family - his wife, Jillian, and their 1-year-old son, Iggy. It is hard to comprehend the strength and stoicism that Jillian has displayed these last six months. She stood by her husband's side day-in and day-out, all while supporting their family and taking care of her young, baby boy.

How does one even begin to navigate this unimaginable tragedy? The answer is, none of us really know. All we, as Jillian's best friends, have to offer is love, support and a commitment to ease the burden of her and Iggy’s new normal. That is why we have set up this GoFundMe. Our mission is to raise enough money for Jillian and Iggy, so they do not succumb to a financial burden at any point in their lives.

Your contributions will help with immediate needs, such as paying off Kevin's medical bills, relocating, moving costs, affording a new home. Our dream is that we raise enough money to contribute to Iggy's education and college fund. Your offering - no matter what the amount - will help the Mense family rebuild and continue to build their lives.

Lastly, we want to say thank you for reading this story. We are so grateful for any and all support.
