Support the Burnside Family in Their Time of Loss

Hi all, thank you for taking the time out of your day to stop by. All proceeds of this gofundme are going to the Burnside family.

If you don’t know, Michelle Burnside is a coworker/dear friend of mine and is a key factor in our work family. Michelle is the bright and bubbly person that walks in the room and knows exactly how to make you smile or laugh when you just can’t find the means to. She is such a caring, giving, selfless person who constantly puts others first.

On 08/18/2024 we received information that Michelle’s 23 month old daughter, Kinsley had unexpectedly passed away. Kinsley was such a sweet and adorable little girl with the cutest personality. Kinsley was always smiling, sharing, laughing and absolutely loved and adored her big sister Maddy. Kinsley was such an important piece in Michelle, Austin, Westin and Maddy’s life. Kinsley unfortunately has lost her life way too soon and no parent should have to bear that grief.

With being a 911 operator, we hear the citizens in our county calling about their problems and the worst days of their lives. We live through your trauma with you, and come back the next day and do it again. Everyday is different and there is always a call everyday that strikes us the wrong way & this was that call.. We are never prepared to have someone who is considered our family call in.

I have started the gofundme to raise the money for Michelle, Austin, Westin, Maddy and the rest of the Burnside family in hopes to help with the expenses with laying Kinsley to rest and the following time being away from work. Anything that you are able to donate is greatly appreciated.
