Cassidy Rainwater was the kind of person who filled a room.

Loud. Joyful. Kind in a way people don't forget. When she walked in, you knew it. She struggled through things most people never had to face, and she did it with people who loved her fiercely and felt that love right back.

She was a mother. Her children loved her. Her family loved her. Her friends loved her.

For five years, the world has known her almost entirely from a driver's license photo. These pictures tell a different story. This is who she actually was.

Her children are still here. Still growing up. Still carrying something no child should have to carry, held by family members who love them and are doing everything they can on a fixed income. No victim compensation funds have reached them.

This is the only official, family-approved fundraiser for Cassidy's children. Every dollar goes directly to their care and stability.

If she moved you, this is where that feeling goes.
