They never looked back.
In time, um, michelle and drew had two little girls.
First came sage, And then shortly after that, They had addie.

And then one horrible night Everything changed forever.
Drew was running a little bit late, Which was not totally uncommon.
But, uh, it was unusual for him not to call.
Michelle realized that drew's diving gear, Uh, was not in the garage.
So she-- She knew he had gone diving, but she didn't know where.
By about 9:30, one our friends had located his car At a A popular diving spot.
the divers found drew.
He had drowned, and, um sorry.
and I just held her.
I just held her like a baby.
In the morning, she said that, um She brought the girls into bed And she said, "daddy had a bad day yesterday.
Daddy is, um He's gone forever.
" The morning after drew died is, First she's grieving and--and upset that-- That this has happened, But the next focus that her mind turns to is the kids.
drew's passing created a huge financial struggle.
There's barely any health insurance For her and the girls.
And she worries every day about the smallest thing That could happen to her or the girls, That they wouldn't be taken care of.

And welcome to "you deserve it," The show that believes it's better to give Than to receive.
What really makes this game different is, Stacey's trying to win as much money as possible, But for someone else.
We all know that, sometimes in life, Things don't go as planned.
This is especially true for michelle, A mother of two beautiful little girls Who could really use a helping hand.
My name is stacey finnerty, And I'm here to play for the most amazing, Deserving mom.
Her name's michelle brislen.
Michelle and I met on our first day of college, Where we both played soccer.
Michelle is my best friend.
I look up to her For her ability to have compassion.
Her unfiltered Way about her.
You just would see her, and she would sparkle.
And you wanted to be part of that.
I introduced michelle to her husband drew.
They went sailing together, and that was it.
It was love.
They never looked back.
In time, um, michelle and drew had two little girls.
First came sage, And then shortly after that, They had addie.
drew and michelle and the girls Were just the perfect family.
And then one horrible night Everything changed forever.
Drew was running a little bit late, Which was not totally uncommon.
But, uh, it was unusual for him not to call.
Michelle realized that drew's diving gear, Uh, was not in the garage.
So she-- She knew he had gone diving, but she didn't know where.
By about 9:30, one our friends had located his car At a A popular diving spot.
the divers found drew.
He had drowned, and, um sorry.
and I just held her.
I just held her like a baby.
In the morning, she said that, um She brought the girls into bed And she said, "daddy had a bad day yesterday.
Daddy is, um He's gone forever.
" The morning after drew died is, First she's grieving and--and upset that-- That this has happened, But the next focus that her mind turns to is the kids.
drew's passing created a huge financial struggle.
There's barely any health insurance For her and the girls.
And she worries every day about the smallest thing That could happen to her or the girls, That they wouldn't be taken care of.
michelle would always give you The last dollar in her wallet, the shirt off her back To help you have a better day.
And it's time for her to have that good day.
michelle and drew had the perfect life Until four months ago when drew drowned.
In order for michelle to get somewhat back together, We need to help her financially, Get health care.
michelle, you are the best friend, Mother, wife, that I know.
I know it's hard, but we're here for you, Because we feel you deserve it.
come here.
That was hard.
I know it's tough to watch.
Yeah.
Um, you and michelle are such dear friends, Best friends.
Can you put into words what she means to you? she is the most giving person.
She always cares about everyone else before herself.
And I really feel that we need to give back, And I'm so lucky that we're here, To be able to do something for her.
Well, you are gonna have a great chance to give back, Win her and the girls a ton of money.
