For those who haven't heard, Elena slipped and fell from her rooftop this morning. She passed away at the hospital. We are trying to raise $$ so that we can send her body home to be reunited with her family in Russia. 

There is some urgency, as the morgue will only hold her body for about a week. 

For those who were fortunate enough to witness Elena's ready smile and her beautiful radiance, there will be profound soundness. And yet to have had the privilege of her friendship meant knowing she would give her all for you. We ask for you to do the same and help her return home. 

The money will be used to cover the cost of flying her home.  Your thoughts and prayers are appreciated at this difficult time.
