I am absolutely blown away by the amount of love and support that I've received from family, friends, and my community. With the loving creation of Halle's GoFundMe by Brian and Hayley, and the donations from all of you, I have reached my goal and am able to pay off Halle's end of life care.
I am truly SO SO SO thankful - words cannot describe. Thank you so much, from the bottom of my heart, for your love and support.
Here is to remembering my sweet girl, my best friend, my little nugget dog, my sun bather, my spunky sassypants, my forever angel puppy. ❤
In loving memory ofHalle

Dear friends, family, and kind souls,
There's a saying that dogs leave paw prints on our hearts, and in the case of Halle, those prints stretch across many miles, landscapes, and years. She wasn’t just a dog; she was the radiant beacon in Courtney’s world. Together, they embarked on a journey of love, adventure, and unwavering companionship.

From the scenic beauty of Puerto Rico to the dynamic landscapes they encountered traveling from the east coast to the west in their cherished RV, Halle was Courtney's steadfast co-pilot. Despite her small size and as the years took a toll on her little legs, Halle never missed a beat thanks to her special "Halle bag". Carried lovingly by Courtney, she continued to see the world and be a part of countless adventures. And, oh, how they both loved the beach! Halle would roll joyfully in the sand, getting into every nook and cranny, and then lie down, zenned out, basking under the sun's warm embrace.
Their bond, strengthened by each mile traveled and every sandy beach visited, was truly special. It's no surprise that Halle was adored and loved by every soul she met on her journey. But her fierce loyalty was reserved for Courtney. From protecting her to the playful squeals during bed-making or her quirky love for dirty socks, Halle's presence was larger than life.

Courtney often said that she couldn’t imagine a home without the love and warmth Halle brought into it. That's why, 16 years ago, Courtney adopted her, filling a space in her heart that she hadn't realized was empty.
But life has its unexpected turns. Halle's sudden departure from this world, crossing over the rainbow bridge due to unforeseen kidney failure, has left Courtney grappling with an unimaginable void. She feels as if she has lost her shadow, her home echoing with the memories of her beloved companion. The heartbreak of losing her best friend of 16 years is compounded by the unforeseen medical expenses.

Today, we humbly ask for your support. We are aiming to raise $1,500 to help cover the medical bills and cremation costs. No amount is too small, and every contribution will go a long way in easing this burden for Courtney during this painful time.
To ensure that 100% of your contributions go directly to Courtney, we're opting to use Venmo, and Cash App for donations. This will bypass any platform fees and ensure every cent of your generous gift aids Courtney in this challenging moment.
Let’s come together to celebrate the beautiful legacy of Halle and to stand by Courtney. Your generosity, love, and support are deeply appreciated.
