🌻As you all know, The Maddy Beach Fund was created in honor of our precious Madison. However, our mission and purpose is so much larger that that.
💜Our non-profit organization aims to be the voice of all those who have been silenced by domestic violence.
💟As the anniversary of another local victim's last day approaches, I would like to highlight her story.
👇Please see a beautiful picture of Kimberly Ann Apple and her story in the comments.

Madison, the daughter of Nate and Stacey Cook, was an amazing young woman with the most beautiful blue eyes. From the moment she could walk and talk, she loved all things in nature. She had a vivid imagination and a passion for art, which led her to create many things. She was a family oriented young woman who aspired to be a tattoo artist. She also loved anything her dad loved – like fishing, hunting, horseback riding and mud racing.

She graduated from Lingle-Ft. Laramie Highschool in 2019 and attended classes at Eastern Wyoming College, but as quickly as her adult life began, it ended. Evil showed up in her life and told her he loved her. She and her boyfriend had only been in a relationship for 3 months.

Three days prior to the discovery of her body, she contacted family for help and moved out. On April 20th 2021, Madison’s body was found under a heap of bedding in her boyfriend's apartment. She has been stabbed, asphyxiated, and showed signs of blunt force trauma to the head.

In memory of Madison the family frequently plants sunflowers, has dedicated a piece of land in her honor near Register Cliff, holds an annual river float on the North Platte River in Guernsey Wyoming, and will continue to promote domestic violence awareness in her honor.

This article from 2022 explains a little about the Silent Witness Initiative and features Madison, Kim, and Gabby as new inductees during the 2022 ceremony. I will post a link in the comments to Madison's story. Trigger warning: It is a graphic story.

Today marks the fifth anniversary of the tragic loss of Madison Cook.

Our hearts and our prayers go out to her family today, and every day.

In life, Madison was a ray of sunshine and sunflowers for her family and our community. In death, she stands as a reminder that evil exists, even in small communities like ours, and she reminds us how important it is to stand against it.

Addiction and Domestic Violence set the stage for tragedy every day in communities across the United States. While there are no easy or simple solutions, we know that continued awareness, compassion, encouragement, and the availability of resources to support survivors can provide hope and help where it is desperately needed.

If you, or someone you know, is living in danger and fear, there is a way out, and there are people who want to help.

In our community, we have a fantastic team of advocates at the Task Force who would be happy to hear your story, help you find solutions, and connect you with resources. They can be reached anytime at 307-532-2118.

We also encourage you to contact us immediately if you are in danger, or if you just need a quiet conversation to learn more about your options. In addition to our 911 emergency line, you can reach us at 307-532-7001.
