Our beautiful Etta Schwartz tragically passed away this week at age 13. This fundraiser is to provide her mother Whitnee, stepfather Aaron, and sister Mona with financial support as they navigate this extremely difficult grief. Generous private donors have paid the funeral expenses. Etta's family and friends had the incredible privilege of having their lives touched by Etta. She was full of life and was kind to everyone around her. Etta was always gentle and loved animals. She was smart, caring, artistic, clean, responsible, loving, mature, empathetic, intelligent, organized, mindful, trustworthy, musical and hardworking. Please feel free to share in the comments other traits of Etta that you remember. Tell us how she touched your life. She will be deeply missed from this earth.

We have set up this fundraiser to help Etta's family with funeral costs and to give them some resources to support their grieving process. Any amount is greatly appreciated. Thank you for considering a donation in Etta's honor.

Etta’s father, Michael Schwartz, also has a grieving fund on Gofundme. Etta’s sister, Mona, will benefit from both fundraisers.
