Assist in Honoring Lael's Legacy
Donation protected
On Friday evening, May 17th, 2024, Lael passed away at the age of 79. We are devastated by our loss and we are not prepared for the cost of piled bills, funeral, and estate manners.
Lael lived a long life. He was a mother/father, fiancé, friend, neighbor and dog mom. He loved big, touching so many hearts through his many decades. Through a variety of careers, he went after what he wanted and he grounded himself in his faith. Whatever he did, he did valiantly, taking risks and changing the lives of so many, showing us all the fulfillment that comes with being yourself.
At the end, Lael was severely disabled and unable to work. Lately, he had been having a lot of breathing problems since contracting RSV, and concurrent bacterial pneumonia. This ultimately led to his death. We are asking for whatever you can donate at this time to help us get through this financial and emotional hardship.
