Help Bonnie After the Tragic Loss of her Oldest Daughter
Donation protected
As many of you know, on March 27th, 2025, Lainie (Alaina McNurlen) tragically passed away from injuries sustained in a single-car crash at just 18 years old. She was on her way to pick up her sister from school when she lost control and the car left the roadway. This has left such a devastating hole in everyone’s hearts. To top that all off, unfortunately, she was driving the only means of transportation that her mother, Bonnie, and her daughters had, which was only covered with liability insurance. Now, Bonnie and her youngest daughter have been having to borrow vehicles to get around at this time.
With the expenses that come from losing a loved one unexpectedly, and just dealing with the grief and trying to find their new norm, thinking of how she’s going to come up with the money to purchase a new car right now just shouldn’t be something she should have to deal with as well. So, I’m asking if you can donate anything to help put towards the purchase of a vehicle for Bonnie and her youngest daughter, it would be greatly appreciated.
