Help the Cunninghams Honor Lorae's Legacy

Hi, my name is Amani, and with a heavy heart, I’m reaching out during the most difficult time of my life. On July 15, 2025, my beautiful mom, Lorae Cunningham, passed away unexpectedly. Our world has been turned upside down, and we’re still trying to find our footing without her.

My mom was everything to us — a bright, joyful soul whose laugh could fill a room, a devoted wife to my dad, Adam Cunningham, and the most loving, supportive, and fiercely loyal woman I’ve ever known. Raised and resided in Nevada County, where she spent the last 35 years, although moving around a bit — building a life and raising our family in this community. She touched so many lives with her kindness and warmth.

Now, as I grieve this unimaginable loss, I’m also stepping into a new role: caring for my 17-year-old sister, Aryana. We’ve lost our foundation, and it’s now just the three of us trying to navigate life, grief, and growing up without the support of extended family.

We want to honor my mom’s memory the way she deserves: with a beautiful celebration of life, filled with love, laughter, and light — everything she gave to those around her. But we’re facing significant financial challenges and are asking for help to make this possible.

Your donations will go directly toward:

* Funeral and memorial expenses

* A celebration of life event to honor her legacy

* Immediate support for Aryana and me as we adjust and rebuild

Even a small contribution can make a meaningful difference. If you’re unable to donate, sharing this campaign or sending us memories or photos of my mom would mean the world to us. We’re holding tight to every piece of her we can.

Thank you for your love, support, and compassion during this heartbreaking time. We miss her more than words can say.

With gratitude,

The Cunningham Family.
