On March 12, 2026, the Klinners experienced an unimaginable loss. Libby’s husband, Major Alex Klinner, was killed while serving our country when his KC-135 aircraft crashed in western Iraq. Alex was a devoted husband, a loving father, and someone who lived a life of service to others. Libby and Alex were raising three young children. We’re organizing a few simple ways to support Libby and the kids in the weeks and months ahead. Because needs will likely shift week to week, we’ve tried to keep things flexible and easy. Much of this will be coordinated behind the scenes to make sure support is actually helpful and doesn’t create more to manage. The below reflects the most immediate needs we’ve identified for now, with dog walking being the highest priority. If none of these are the right fit, gift cards on the right side of the page are always helpful. You can also reach us at [email protected] with questions or other ideas. If you sign up for something, someone close to Libby will follow up with any details. Thank you so much for showing up for this special family. It means more than we can say.
HIGHEST PRIORITY! Dog Walking & Play Time: Helping care for the Klinner's two Golden Retrievers, Remy and Milo, can make a big difference in the day-to-day. If you sign up, we will reach out to nail down timing and details based on your availability and that day's schedule. Flexibility is appreciated, as timing may shift. Household Needs & Hands-on Support: This option is for those who have the time and flexibility to help in a more hands-on way. Needs may vary week to week, but this could look like picking up a pre-ordered grocery order, grabbing a prescription, restocking dog food or helping with a quick errand that makes the day a little easier. After you sign up, we will reach out to help coordinate what would be most helpful for that week. Laundry Fund: Laundry has a way of piling up quickly, especially with little ones. This is a simple way to take one thing off Libby’s plate. Contributions here will go toward a trusted laundry service. If you’d like to help, you can sign up to cover or contribute toward a weekly service, and we’ll coordinate scheduling and payment. House Cleaning Fund: A clean home can go a long way in creating a little breathing room. Contributions here will go toward a trusted cleaning service as needs come up. If you’d like to help, you can sign up to cover or contribute toward a cleaning visit, and we’ll coordinate scheduling and payment.
