Dear @forumz/unforumzed alumni and members of the Tori Amos community,

You may know Julie Vega from her wonderful presence on the Tori boards and within our community for the last 20+ years. We are deeply saddened to tell you that her beloved daughter, Penelope Jane Vega, has passed away suddenly at age 17.

As Julie's friends, we have started this fundraiser to help cover the cost of Penelope's funeral and contribute toward Julie and her son's life expenses. As you can imagine, the unexpected loss of a child is a life-altering grief. During this difficult time, we are reaching out to the community for help.

Please consider donating if you can; any amount will truly help. If you cannot donate at this time, it would mean a lot if you could share this fundraiser with others within the community.

Thank you so much for your consideration. Please keep Julie and her family in your thoughts, and hold Penelope's memory in your hearts.

Mike, Kari, Barbara, and Morgan
