<div>Hello,

</div>

<div>My name is Amanda, I know many of you know my sister Rebecca Ascani passed away on 6/14/24 unexpectedly at home. Leaving behind her pride and joy, her 3 children. A month later on 7/20/24 Aubree and Everette’s father &amp; Vincent’s step dad, Mitchell Rideout passed away.. now leaving behind 3 kids without their parents. Vincent 6, Aubree 3 and Everette 2. They no longer have the life they once had. They lost both their parents all in a month’s time. We’re all still very distraught, and grieving the loss of both of them. My mom and I are very grateful to have full guardianship of all three of these beautiful kids.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>This go fund me is to raise money to help support these kids in any way shape or form for the present and the future. To help the transition of one home to two. We want these kids to thrive, to be able to live close enough to a normal life as possible. “Normal” may look different to everyone. We want these kids to feel at home when they’re with my mom and when they’re with me. We want to give these children the best life possible not only for them but for my sister and Mitchell too.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I did start an Amazon wish list that I will try and link below. I will provide the sizes for each child. Vincent is 7/8 Aubree and Everette are both 5T. If you’d like to help with Gavin and Avah you can email for sizes. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you’d like to email me directly, my email is in the contact.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Anything helps. We understand it’s a very difficult time for a lot of people right now. If you’re unable to help please share this.

</div>

<div>We can’t thank everyone enough for all the support through this tragic loss of both Rebecca and Mitchell

</div>

</div>

<div>Update: 

</div>

<div>1. My sister is home! I have not been able to transfer her to necklaces that were bought for us. I’m not ready for that. But, she’s home. I feel her with us through all of this! I love you Becky Anne and miss you more than I could ever begin to express. This isn’t how things were supposed to be, I want you back so bad. 

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>2. Vincent, Aubree and Everette are doing amazing. I will say not every day is easy, nor will they ever be. No one could ever replace the love from their mom and dad. They all are attached to my hips as well as my mom’s. 

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>3. Mom and I have 50/50 custody of all 3 of them. We did it, we did it for them and my sister. I know she would not want her kids anywhere else.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>4. My brother has been there every step of the way, and I couldn’t be more thankful knowing these babies will grow up with the best support system anyone could ask for. Avah, Gavin and Vincent were surprised with a trip to six flags with them and a big sleep over at uncle Nate’s and aunty Jess house. 

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>5. Vincent is starting 1st grade this week. Aubree and Everette is still too young to join anything local. They’re still on waiting list. 

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>6. Apartment hunt is still on, I’ve seen probably two places that’d fit all our needs. And I’m praying and crossing my fingers for this one place to give us a chance.  both Avah and Gavin will still be able to stay in their schools and that’s a huge deal. Seeing as this has not only turned our life upside down but theirs as well. They went from being just them two to three more kids they have to share their mom with. 

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>7. I want to thank everyone for all the love and support at this time. I know I haven’t been able to text everyone back, or message everyone back. And I do apologize, with working as much as possible and making sure all kids have everything they need, is extremely exhausting and stressful. I’m being pulled in many different directions right now. With all that being said I appreciate all the love and support. 

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I appreciate everyone sharing the gofundme, sharing it and asking your friends to share get our story out there to receive as much support as possible. This gofundme isn’t being used on anything but being able to move, and things all the kids need. We also want to make it possible to put money into a savings that can grow for the children so they have something when they’re older. 

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to read this far. I’ll be posting the gofundme I know times are tough for everyone right now, but sharing helps more than you know. 

</div>

<div>Thank you to anyone who has donated, I wish I could give you all the biggest hug possible. I appreciate you all.

</div>

<div>I haven’t been able to add anything to the Amazon list, but will do so over the next week or so.
