This fundraiser is for a friend who is facing an unimaginable loss. While we can’t ease the pain, we hope to offer a small measure of comfort and support to her and her family during this incredibly difficult time.

Some of us are close with her now; others shared a chapter with her in the past. But in one way or another, she left a mark on our lives. This is a quiet way to show up for someone who has meant something to many of us.

We’re sharing this privately, among those who know her, care about her, and want to help in a meaningful and respectful way. Contributions will go toward whatever may be needed—now or in the future—as she and her family navigate this new and uncertain chapter.

Any amount is truly appreciated. Thank you for your kindness and generosity.
