<div>On October 17, 2023, a tragic collision on Pacific Coast Highway claimed the lives of four young women: Niamh Rolston, Peyton Stewart, Asha Weir, and Deslyn Williams. These incredible young women, all students at Pepperdine University, were taken far too soon, leaving behind grieving families, friends, and a community forever changed.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>To honor their memory, we are raising funds to create a permanent memorial at Point Dume in Malibu, a place that held deep meaning for Asha Weir and her friends.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This effort, initiated by Asha’s mother, Vinita Weir, and organized by Streets Are For Everyone and the Emily Shane Foundation, seeks to establish a space where people can reflect, remember, and find peace.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Point Dume was one of Asha’s favorite places, a sanctuary she captured beautifully in her poem, "For a Moment of Peace."
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This memorial will feature two custom benches overlooking the stunning bluffs, beaches, and Pacific waters that brought solace to Asha and her friends. The benches will include plaques with a QR code linking to a digital memorial honoring Niamh, Peyton, Asha, and Deslyn, along with Asha’s poem, and serving as a poignant reminder about the importance of road safety—particularly on PCH.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Why This Memorial Matters</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This tribute is not just a reflection of the love and light these young women brought into the world—it’s also a call for change. PCH, while breathtakingly scenic, is a perilous stretch of road.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><em> By creating this memorial, we hope to inspire reflection and advocacy for safer roads, ensuring tragedies like this become a thing of the past.</em>
</div>
<div><em>How You Can Help</em>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The cost to fabricate, install, and maintain the benches is $8,000 each ($16,000 total). Any additional funds raised will be donated to the <a href="https://www.emilyshane.org/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Emily Shane Foundation</a> and <a href="https://www.streetsareforeveryone.org/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Streets Are For Everyone</a>, two organizations dedicated to road safety and community empowerment.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every contribution, no matter the size, brings us closer to creating this lasting tribute. Together, we can honor Niamh, Peyton, Asha, and Deslyn in a way that reflects their joy, kindness, and enduring legacy.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Join Us in This Effort</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Once complete, we invite you to visit Point Dume and sit at the memorial, overlooking the breathtaking ocean and surrounding bluffs.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Let this space be a place of peace and remembrance, for those who knew and loved these four remarkable young women, and for anyone who comes seeking solace.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for your support in making this memorial a reality.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Please share this GoFundMe with others who might wish to join us in celebrating the lives of Niamh, Peyton, Asha, and Deslyn, and in supporting safer roads for all.

<div><strong>For a Moment of Peace</strong>
</div>
<div><em>By Asha Weir</em>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>A poem about Point Dume, Malibu, CA
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><em>One too many thoughts today</em>
</div>
<div><em>My mind is a crowded room</em>
</div>
<div><em>It is loud and overwhelming in here</em>
</div>
<div><em>Oh silence, won’t you visit soon?</em>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><em>But, when there’s too much going on</em>
</div>
<div><em>In my restless, racing mind</em>
</div>
<div><em>I tell myself what I tell others-</em>
</div>
<div><em>To yourself, you must be kind</em>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><em>Do not get angry</em>
</div>
<div><em>And do not question why</em>
</div>
<div><em>You cannot seem</em>
</div>
<div><em>To escape your mind.</em>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><em>Pick yourself up</em>
</div>
<div><em>And go to the place</em>
</div>
<div><em>Where the cool Pacific water</em>
</div>
<div><em>Washes your thoughts away.</em>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><em>Take a left and go down the path</em>
</div>
<div><em>Be careful, it is quite steep!</em>
</div>
<div><em>When you finally reach the bottom</em>
</div>
<div><em>Let the water kiss your feet.</em>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><em>You can stand or sit</em>
</div>
<div><em>Walk or run</em>
</div>
<div><em>But don’t forget to turn your face</em>
</div>
<div><em>Up towards the sun.</em>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><em>Close your eyes, slow your heart, and breath</em>
</div>
<div><em>You are here, you are okay</em>
</div>
<div><em>Allow your mind to rest, awhile</em>
</div>
<div><em>Relax and be free.</em>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><em>Free from anxiety</em>
</div>
<div><em>Free from stress</em>
</div>
<div><em>Throw your worries in the ocean</em>
</div>
<div><em>Let the water take your mess</em>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><em>Inhale the salty air</em>
</div>
<div><em>Feel your mind release</em>
</div>
<div><em>And if your thoughts return again someday</em>
</div>
<div><em>Go back to the water for a moment of peace</em>
</div>
