FARMINGTON, Minn. – A neighbor of Maddi Kingsbury’s parents in Farmington set up a GoFundMe to buy outdoor playground equipment for her children. The organizer, Nick Chaix, said donations will go toward play equipment, a playhouse, a shed and a fence around the yard. The Kingsburys have had custody of the children, 5 and 2, since April after their mother Maddi disappeared. She was later found slain, and the children’s father, Adam Fravel, has been accused of murder.

Chaix: “Losing a parent is a devastating experience for any child. Having to cope with the loss of both parents is unimaginable. It can be especially difficult for children to cope with such a loss when they don’t have a fun place to play, grow, explore and be themselves.”
