A Mother’s World Shattered: Standing with Kayla Meeks and Her Children in Their Darkest Hour

Just days ago, Kayla lost her life partner, Bryley, in a sudden and devastating accident. Bryley wasn’t just the father of her children — he was her best friend, her co-parent, her safe place, her home. He was the one who carried the weight with her, who made the impossible days manageable. In an instant, that foundation was taken away.

Now, Kayla is left to carry the unbearable — grieving the love of her life, comforting five children who are mourning their father, and doing all of this while still recovering from childbirth.

As if her heartbreak wasn’t already overwhelming, Kayla now faces a cascade of challenges that threaten the very structure of her family’s life:

• The rent-to-own home they built together is being foreclosed on, putting them at risk of losing the only place they’ve known as home.
• The family vehicle was totaled in the accident, leaving her with no reliable transportation.
• And with the new school year just weeks away, her children still need clothes, supplies, and a sense of normalcy that she’s struggling to provide.

All the things that once gave her and her children security — their home, their car, their routine — have begun to slip away at the worst possible time. And still, Kayla wakes up each day, showing up for her babies, trying to be everything they need, even when her heart is breaking.

But no one should have to do this alone.

I am humbly asking — if you’re reading this — to please help Kayla and her children find solid ground again. Whether it’s a donation, a share, a kind word, or a prayer, it all matters. We are hoping to raise enough to:

• Keep a roof over their heads
• Provide a safe, reliable vehicle
• Cover school essentials for her children
• Give Kayla just a moment to breathe, to grieve, to heal

Every little bit helps. And even if you’re not in a position to give, sharing this message could be the connection that changes everything for this family.

I’ve known Kayla since we were kids. I’ve seen her resilience. I know she’ll get through this — but none of us are meant to face tragedy in isolation. With your help, we can remind her that even in her darkest hour, she’s not alone.

Thank you for reading. Thank you for caring. And thank you for helping lift up a mother who is doing everything she can to keep going when her whole world has been turned upside down.

With love and hope,

Destinee
