Hi everyone,

My name is Lisa, and I am creating this fundraiser on behalf of my incredible friend Chelsea Pierce.

Chelsea is taking a huge, brave step — leaving behind everything she has built in Victoria to begin a new life in the Okanagan. She is doing this out of love and purpose, ready to pour her heart into helping her family while also rebuilding her own foundation and creating a stable, meaningful new chapter for herself.

This has been an unimaginably hard season for Chelsea and her family. After the heartbreaking loss of her sister-in-law, Gillian, their world shifted overnight. Chelsea has chosen to return home to Vernon to be close to her loved ones, find healing, and begin again — surrounded by love, community, and purpose. She will be moving in with her brother, Brodie, to help support him and his two young boys, ages 8 and 5, as they navigate life, loss, and rebuilding together.

She is stepping into this next chapter with open arms and a brave heart, but starting over comes with challenges — emotional, mental, and financial. This GoFundMe is a way for those who love her (and those touched by her story) to help her find her feet again as she builds her new life.

How your support helps Chelsea:

• Relocation and travel costs as she moves her life from Victoria to Vernon

• Van repairs and essentials — her van is not just transportation, it is her home, freedom, and safety

• Basic living expenses while she gets settled and begins this new chapter

• Counselling and emotional support as she navigates grief, transition, and healing

• Rebuilding stability and grounding — creating a safe, peaceful foundation for her future

• ️ Honouring the memory and spirit of Gillian, whose light continues to guide her every step of the way

Chelsea has always been someone who shows up for others — fiercely loyal, generous, and full of light.

She’s the kind of person who gives everything she has to the people she loves. Now, it is our turn to show up for her.

Any donation, no matter the size, helps Chelsea take the next steps toward healing and rebuilding her life.

With love and gratitude,

Friends of Chelsea Pierce
