College Fund for Kim Varner's Son Clayton
Donation protected
My name is Tamara Bell and I am raising money as a college fund for my beloved friend Kimberly Varner's son Clayton. She recently passed away from her bout with cancer. She was an important part of the adult pleasure products industry and worked very hard to make a difference in the lives of small businesses, manufacturers and educators. She loved her work and education was at the top of the list. Her one and only son, Clayton is attending the University of Missouri-Kansas City, pursuing a degree in Urban Planning. He plans to graduate in May 2024. As you can see he is a lot like his mother, wanting to help people!
In 2016, Kim was diagnosed with breast cancer. Although she and her family were shaken by the diagnosis, she snapped back to reality and realized she had “stuff” to do. By the grace of God and the prayers of many, she was cancer free for 4 years before metastatic breast cancer of the lungs tested her in late 2020. In late 2022 metastasis developed to the brain, and liver, 2023. When Kim finally told her family about the diagnosis, she told them she is “living with cancer, not dying from it”. And she meant it.
The monies raised from this GoFundMe will help Clayton with tuition, books, and additional items needed for his education.
