In support of Jacqueline and Myles' loss

Donation protected
Hi, my name is Taylor and I am raising funds for my best friend, Jacqueline. Two nights ago something very tragic happened that have left her and her sons lives changed forever. Jacquelines sons father, Austin Fitzgerald was brutally murdered. For those of you who knew Austin, you know what an incredible person he is. To know Austin is to love Austin. He always entered the room with a friendly smile on his face and could get along with just about anyone. Austin was a friend, a son, a brother, and most importantly a father to his two year old, Myles. The way that man lit up Myles' world like no other. Austin was always there for both Myles and Jacqueline no matter what, he was an incredible father. Myles loves his daddy very very much.

On Sunday January 21st 2024 around 1:30am Austin was involved in an altercation that ultimately resulted in him being shot and killed. There are still a lot of unknowns about what really happened but what we do know is that the guy responsible for this tragic loss is locked up and will hopefully remain locked up for the rest of his life as he deserves. We are all left confused and absolutely heartbroken. We have to begin picking up the pieces and moving forward for Austins family and more importantly for Myles. So I have started this fundraiser in hopes to alleviate some of the financial pressure that will be put on Jacqueline while she has to navigate this new life without the father of her sweet baby boy. Although Jacqueline never asked for anything from anyone and never will, I know this community and how much they love Austin, Jacqueline, and even more so sweet baby Myles. If you are able to donate anything at all, that would be greatly appreciated. If you are unable to donate, please like share and spread the word around. All donations will go directly to Jacqueline to help take care of Myles in this difficult time and also for his future. Please keep Jacqueline, Myles, and all of Austins family in your thoughts and prayers as they figure out this new life while grieving such an amazing man.

If anyone would like to donate directly to Jacqueline, her Venmo is @ Jacquijames and her cashapp is $ shakquee — 6450 is the last 4 of her phone number in case they need verification ♥️
