They say it takes a village, and Laura and Andrew's village stretches far and wide. We are friends from Laura's hometown of Chattanooga, now joined by friends and loved ones from all over, who want to surround Laura, Archie, and Samantha with care.

As Laura and the kids face this unimaginable loss, so many people have asked how they can help. One of the most meaningful ways is by easing some of the practical burdens ahead. Donations will go directly toward caring for Laura and the kids and helping with everyday needs, school and the support they'll need as they grow. This is simply a way for all of us who love Laura and Andrew to stand alongside their family in the days ahead.

Friends in Austin, we are appreciative of the in-person ways that you are showing love to Laura and the kids. Whether it's helping with gardening, meal prep or a hug, you're doing what those of us farther away wish we could.

Thank you for being part of this circle of love and support.
