Casey and Ben’s world turned upside down when their vibrant three-year-old daughter, Zoey, was diagnosed with a rare brain tumor. They did everything they could, from exploring cutting-edge treatments to traveling across continents, holding on to hope. But Zoey’s illness progressed rapidly.
On July 4, 2018, in the comfort of her home, Zoey passed away peacefully, surrounded by the people she loved most. Her parents ensured her final days were filled with warmth, laughter, and her favorite activities. They sang Disney songs, played with her beloved toys, and even watched Harry Potter together as a family.
Amid their unimaginable grief, Casey immortalized their love in a poignant photograph, capturing their family’s strength in the face of tragedy. That photo, shared online, struck a chord with millions, reminding everyone of the profound bond between a parent and a child.
Their heartbreak gave birth to a mission: “Zoey’s Light,” a foundation dedicated to celebrating the small joys in life, just as Zoey did. Whether it’s a smile, a hug, or a moment of togetherness, Casey and Ben urge others to treasure these fleeting moments.
Zoey’s story isn’t just about loss; it’s about love, resilience, and finding light even in the darkest times. Through their work, Casey and Ben inspire countless families to cherish life’s simplest blessings and to never take a single moment for granted.
This story of love and courage serves as a reminder that even in the face of despair, hope and light can emerge.
