Dear friends, family, and kind-hearted people,

 I'm a saddened to share heartbreaking information. Abigail, who many of you know as Abby, unexpectedly lost her husband Drake Shinabarger on April 12, 2026. They had a beautiful little boy named Cassius, who is just 10 months old.

Drake left us much too soon, and now Abby's world has been shaken to its core. She not only needs to plan his funeral but also raise their son alone—a task made all the more daunting by financial strain. We're reaching out to our community for support because every bit counts in honoring Drake’s memory and ensuring that Cassius is cared for right from the start of his life.

What might seem like a small donation to you could be a huge relief to Abby during this incredibly tough time. Your generosity will help cover funeral expenses, leaving what remains untouched so it can grow into something meaningful for Cassius as he grows up.

"In times of loss and despair, the kindness we show one another is often our greatest strength."

Drake's legacy lives on through his family and community support. Let’s come together to ease their burden during this tough time! Whether it's $5 or $50—every dollar helps bring in a brighter future for Cassius and help give Drake the memorial he deserves.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support and compassion. Together, we can make sure that Drake’s memory lives through the legacy he leaves behind with Abby and Cassius. Let's show them they're not alone in this journey❤️💙 Drake was a High Point Firefighter and recently with the High Point Police Department .
