Help Raquel through the sudden loss of her father

Hey everyone,

In late March, Raquel learned of the passing of her father. It happened suddenly under very tragic circumstances and was a wholly unanticipated loss. She has had to navigate this logistical nightmare without the emotional or financial support of a parent or other guardian, on top of the already crushing weight of her own grief.

In addition to expected funerary costs which are themselves significant, the services of a specialized medical cleaning crew had to be engaged due to the death occurring in his home. The costs so far have been around $30,000, and costs are expected to continue to mount as a lawyer will need to obtained as the estate works its way slowly through probate and his financial affairs settled.

If there is anything you can give to help Raquel feel supported during this unspeakably awful loss, it will be very gratefully received. We understand not everyone is in a position to contribute and shares are also very welcome and appreciated.

Jim’s obituary can be found here, which also presents the opportunity to plant trees at no cost to you in memory of the deceased. Thank you.
