Support the Engel Family

Hello - I am organizing this fundraiser for my dear friend Caroline Hull Engel, whom I have known for over 35 years, and her precious daughters, Ava Bonner and Ella Engel. On March 24th, Robert Engel died in a tragic work accident. This shocking loss has been felt deeply by Robert’s family and friends - especially by Ava Bonner and Ella.

As you can imagine, a loss like this affects a family in a myriad of ways. In addition to the unimaginable grief and sadness is the financial stress that Caroline now faces as a single parent raising and educating two children.

Ava Bonner is a freshman in college, and Ella will be headed to college in less than two years. The girls are both bright, ambitious and talented, and Robert was so very proud of them. They are both creative and artistic just like their dad.

Caroline has shared her amazing musical talent with so many of us over the years. She has also given her time and talent performing benefit shows over the past 20 plus years to support a variety of causes and organizations as well as individuals in need of assistance. She is truly one of the kindest, most generous people I have ever known.

Now it is time to give back to her and her wonderful daughters - to lift her up and provide support to help ease the burden in whatever ways we can. Please consider making a gift to help the family with immediate living expenses as well as help Ava Bonner and Ella with college. No gift is too small and each gift will be so very appreciated by the family.

Robert will be missed terribly, but he leaves a beautiful legacy in Ava Bonner and Ella. Thank you in advance for your generous support of these two special girls and their very devoted mother.
