D DeeDee Payne Lauren’s fund covers memorial costs, daily needs, and time to grieve for her sons M 909 donors Read story 0% complete $70,791 raised of $90K ‌ Share Donate 0% complete $70,791 raised of $90K 909 donations D DeeDee Payne D DeeDee Payne is organizing this fundraiser. D DeeDee Payne Donation protected My dear friend Lauren has recently experienced an unimaginable tragedy, losing her three beloved boys. No mother should ever have to endure such a heartbreaking loss, and there are simply no words that could ever begin to describe the pain she is facing. Lauren's three boys were her entire world, her greatest blessings, and the light of her life. Everything she did was rooted in the love she had for them. She was a truly spectacular mother who loved her boys beyond measure. Her love, dedication, and devotion to them were evident in everything she did. Those who know Lauren know just how much being their mom meant to her. Her boys were her pride and joy, her happiness, and the center of her universe. The love she has for them is something that will never fade. During this incredibly difficult time, we are asking our friends, family, and surrounding communities to come together and surround Lauren with all the love, compassion, and support we possibly can. I have created this GoFundMe to help ease the financial burdens she may face in the days, weeks, and months ahead. Whether it be funeral/memorial expenses, everyday living expenses, time away from work, or any unexpected needs, our hope is to allow Lauren the time and space to grieve without the added weight of financial worries. Nothing can ever take away the pain of losing her boys, and no amount of money could ever replace what she has lost. But together, we can help carry some of the burdens she should not have to face alone. Any donation, no matter how big or small, is deeply appreciated. If you are unable to donate, please consider sharing this fundraiser and keeping Lauren and her family in your thoughts and prayers. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for coming together to support Lauren, honor the memory of her three precious boys, and remind her that she is surrounded by love during the darkest time of her life. ❤️ Read more Donate Share Donations 909 See top ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ M Mary Collins $200 34 mins C Claire Pugh $111 2 hrs Anonymous $200 15 mins J Jennifer Kwan $111 2 hrs C Cimarron Patch $100 3 hrs See all See all Organizer D DeeDee Payne Organizer Grand Meadow, MN November 9th, 2026 Funerals & Memorials Donation protected Report fundraiser
