Samantha Busch spoke at the Carlos Rodón Foundation’s Third Annual Willow Gala on Monday, after receiving the Seeds of Hope Award, according to PEOPLE.

But I also know that the same God who carried us through infertility is still carrying me now,” she added.
Samantha was honored in recognition of her and Kyle’s foundation, The Bundle of Joy Fund, which provides monetary grants for in-need couples struggling with infertility, along with the costs associated with IVF treatment.
Samantha added that this foundation, “gives me a piece of Kyle to hold onto as I keep moving forward” as she addressed guests at the gala. “Every grant we give, every positive pregnancy test, every heartbeat, every baby placed into the arms of parents who wondered if that moment would ever come, Kyle is still a part of that.”

I pray that in his honor we can give more couples a chance to experience the greatest gift Kyle and I were ever given: The chance to become mom and dad,” she concluded by saying.
Samantha deserves a ton of credit for being strong enough to speak on this tragic matter so soon after it happened.
Kyle Busch died from complications from severe pneumonia, which progressed “into sepsis, resulting in rapid and overwhelming associated complications,” according to a statement from his family.
His legacy lives on through Samantha, their two children, and Kyle’s brother, Kurt.
