Loss of parents, help bring fun to Maddi's kids

Donation protected
Help bring some fun to the children of Madeline Kingsbury.

My name is Nick and I am a close friend of the family and live across the street from the children’s grandparents and the children’s new home. I am raising funds to purchase play equipment, a play house, shed and fencing to surround the yard at their house.

Losing a parent is a devastating experience for any child. Having to cope with the loss of both parents is unimaginable. It can be especially difficult for children to cope with such a loss when they don’t have a fun place to play, grow, explore and be themselves. That’s why I am raising funds to provide play equipment for Maddi’s children. The goal is to create a space where these children can come together, have fun and heal.

We believe that play is an essential part of a child’s development and well-being. It helps children to process difficult emotions, build resistance, and form positive relationships with others. Unfortunately, many children who have lost a parent do not have engaging play spaces. That’s where I am hoping we all come in.

I need your help to make this a reality for Maddi’s children. Her children are young, ages 2 and 5, and will get many years of enjoyment out of the equipment. All donations received will go directly to the creation of the play space for them. No funds from the Kingsbury Children’s Foundation are being used to create this space. This is a completely separate fundraiser for her children. Please consider donating to support our fundraising efforts. Together, we can bring joy and healing to these young children who have experienced the tragic loss of both of their parents.

For those of you not familiar with the story of Maddi, here are links to her story.



Thank you for considering this fundraising campaign. I believe every child deserves a fun place to play, especially those who have experienced the loss of their parents. Please share this with as many people as you can. With your help, we can make this project a reality.
