Kirsten Bridegan created the Bexley Box in September 2022 in memory of her husband, Jared Bridegan, after his tragic murder earlier in 2022.

Jared was ambushed and shot to death right outside of his vehicle on February 16th while their two-year-old daughter, Bexley, sat helplessly strapped into her car seat.

After witnessing this horrific act, Bexley was taken to a police station where she spent hours without either of her parents and, despite the best efforts of the police officers involved, was without basic necessities for a toddler, such as a sippy cup or the correct sized diapers.

In an effort to make children’s experiences at police stations a little less traumatic and scary, project “Bexley Box” was born. Bexley Box™ aims to provide comfort items and basic necessities for children brought to police stations without their caregivers. Each Bexley Box contains essentials such as diapers, wipes, sippy cups, pre-mixed formula, snacks, and blankets as well as comforting extras like stuffed animals, books, coloring supplies, and more.

Each Bexley Box is delivered directly to Law Enforcement Agencies to better equip them to care for children who are victimized by crime.

With your help we can provide and maintain the refillable Bexley Boxes in every police department across the country! Please join us in our mission to comfort children during what is likely the worst moment of their lives.
