First and foremost, the Bauer family wants to extend their heartfelt gratitude for the outpouring of love, support, and generosity they have received thus far. Your donations have been a lifeline, helping the Bauer’s stay in Texas and ensure that Christa’s children remain in their care, offering them as much stability and normalcy as possible during a time when their entire world has been turned upside down.
The road to this point has been incredibly difficult, and the journey ahead remains an uphill battle. The family now faces the reality of managing their businesses from afar, and maintaining two separate households—all while shouldering the immeasurable emotional toll of this loss. They are deeply grateful to have the children with them, as they know the road ahead will be filled with challenges no family should ever have to face.

We are raising the fundraising goal to help ease the financial strain. The additional funds will allow the Bauer’s to continue focusing on the well-being of the children, without being overwhelmed by financial worries, as they all navigate this heartbreaking time of grief and transition.
From the bottom of their hearts, the Bauer family thanks you for your continued support. Your kindness has made a world of difference, and together, we can help lessen the burden so they can focus on what matters most: supporting the children through this unimaginable loss.
Thank you all for honoring Christa, keeping her memory alive, and supporting her family. It has been a glimpse of hope and humanity in a time filled with darkness.
