Help Tiffany and Vance Through This Tragic Loss

My name is Rita Mena, myself and Donna Rivera Bailey are organizing this GoFundMe page for the benefit of Tiffany and Vance Choate with Tiffany's consent. We are close personal friends of Tiffany's and want to assist her and Vance during this difficult time. Early this morning (4/26/25) Joel Choate passed away unexpectedly, leaving Tiffany a widow and Vance without a father. The intent of this GoFundMe page is to accept donations that will assist the family with funeral and daily living expenses. Joel passed away with no life insurance, leaving a heavy financial burden on the family. 100% of the funds collected will be deposited directly into Tiffany's account.

For those of you that don't know, Vance is on the Autism Spectrum. Vance will require continuous care throughout his lifetime, with that responsibility now falling on Tiffany's shoulders. Through your generous contributions, we can assist Tiffany and Vance in meeting their immediate and future needs. Thank you in advance for your support and generosity.
