LifeChronicles Children's Fund, Santa Barbara, CA (2025)

We create videos of seniors or seriously ill people to share important messages for those they love. The LifeChronicles Children’s Fund
(Khelly Miller Agee Fund)

The LifeChronicles Children’s Fund was established by friends and family of Khelly Miller Agree, who died of breast cancer on May 28, 2010. The purpose of the Fund is to help give other parents of young children, who are facing a termin

al illness, the opportunity to create a video through LifeChronicles--to capture their life and stories and to leave messages for their children. Khelly’s son, Daschiel, was only 17 months old when she passed away. He won’t remember what it felt like when she held him, hugged him or kissed him. What he will have is an amazing collection of images and recordings of her. Khelly, and her husband Jerry, spent part of their careers working in film and television and they did a phenomenal job of documenting their lives. As Daschiel grows up, these images, along with the stories that family and friends share with him, will be how he knows his mother. Our hope is that others who know the power of the love and presence of a mother, and perhaps know the pain of a similar loss, will contribute to the Children’s Fund and make it possible for other children to have the gift of images and words of their mother or father that will last a lifetime.

Let's all be thankful to have each other..
8 years ago on Tuesday before Thanksgiving, LifeChronicles received a phone call from a young mother in Boston whose husband had been given a very short time to live. When we asked if they could wait until Sunday after Thanksgiving, she started to cry, and we said "we will be right there." I arrived the next night in Boston and filmed the family all day on Thanksgiving. I understood when the father asked me to stay for dinner and "would you film it." He passed four days later.
Today I received our 7th annual phone call from Tracy who says she loves the video for many reasons, especially because it shows "the last joy we had before he passed." It's such a gift each year to hear what our work has meant to this young family. Here's a clip of their boys (6 & 4) giving a Batman interview before we started to film their papa...it will warm your heart!

This is "Coyle boys-Batman & Robin.m4v" by Kate Carter on Vimeo, the home for high quality videos and the people who love them.

How about a feel good? A few days ago LifeChronicles received a call from a young social worker at a Southern California hospice. She said she had a "really nice family" that needs our services. A 41 year old veteran with a wife and three children under the age of 8 has terminal cancer and had listed "a video log" for his children in his dying wishes. As I shared with the social worker how LifeChronicles does what it does and what we could do for this young father, she began to cry. She said, "I'm so happy I found LifeChronicles! It's been a very hard day and this has changed everything!" When the dying father's wife called the next day, we scheduled a filming on the 23rd which will include him reading to his children...by being filmed in their father's arms, they will always remember not just the sight and sound of their father, they will remember what it felt like to be in his presence and loved by him. Having served more than 2,000 families in the past 26 years, we know this gift will bring him peace of mind and will ease the grieving of his wife and children as the years go by.
