Pleasanton Community: Stand With a 27 year old after loss

Donation protected
Our community is coming together to support a remarkable young woman facing an unimaginable loss.

At just 27 years old, my son’s very close friend has lost the only family she had left. In a heartbreaking tragedy, she lost both her mother and her brother in a single moment. She had already endured the loss of her father at a young age, and now she is navigating the overwhelming grief of losing the rest of her immediate family.

She lived in the family home with her mother and brothers, and overnight her entire world has been turned upside down.

A third-generation Pleasanton resident and graduate of Amador Valley High School, she has worked tirelessly to build a meaningful future. Through determination and hard work, she put herself through school and began building a career dedicated to caring for others.

Now she is facing an unimaginable emotional and practical burden. In addition to grieving this profound loss, she must suddenly take on responsibilities she never expected to face alone.

This fundraiser has been created to help provide stability and support during this incredibly difficult time. Donations will help with household bills, counseling, and everyday living expenses so she can have the time and space to grieve and begin rebuilding her life.

Anyone who knows her knows how kind, hardworking, and compassionate she is. She has dedicated her life to caring for others, and now she needs the support of her community more than ever.

If you are able to help, any contribution will make a meaningful difference. And if you’re unable to donate, sharing this fundraiser can help reach others who may want to support her.

To respect her privacy during this incredibly difficult time, some details are intentionally limited. Please do not try to contact her directly at this time. If you have non-gofundme related help to offer you can contact my son, Nathan at 9257198939

Our hope is that this community can surround her with compassion, stability, and hope as she begins the long road toward healing.

Thank you for your kindness and generosity.
