Kai VanNess, only 8 years old from Covington, VA, tragically passed away on May 3, 2024. He was a beloved second grader at Mountain View Elementary School, cherished by his family and everyone he met.
His sudden departure has left his father, Kevin VanNess, a single dad, and his family, including his older sister Taylor, younger sister Raina, baby brother Cash, and his brother by heart Benji, in deep sorrow and facing significant financial burdens.
A fundraiser has been initiated by Dawn Burks to help cover the funeral costs and other related expenses. As of today, the community has raised $870 out of a $10,000 goal, with 19 donations contributing to this cause.
Dawn Grimm Burks passionately requests, "Please consider donating to Kai’s family. Kevin is a single dad and we all know the expenses of a funeral, time off of work etc. If you are unable to give, please share for others to have the opportunity to contribute."
Kristen Pauley adds to the community’s sentiment, "Kai was such a great kid, definitely surrounded by so much love. It’s a shame that anyone has to go through this and worry about the financial aspects. Hopefully this eases all of that for them."
Moreover, Amber-Robbie Hepler suggests, "Just a suggestion but I know this weekend there is supposed to be a car show at mve could you ask to set up maybe a donation tent or raffle or something like that to help as well."
