Help Vanessa Rebuild After Tragic Loss

Donation protected
Dear Friends & Family,

Asking for help is never easy, but we do so now out of necessity. In the wake of a sudden and heartbreaking loss, we are turning to our community for support. Just a few weeks ago, our lifelong friend Vanessa DeSantis’s world was shattered by the unexpected passing of her beloved husband, Bendix Anderson last month. He was not only her life partner, he was her anchor and her greatest support.

Now Vanessa is facing daunting emotional and practical challenges as she meets this devastating moment and prepares to face the next chapter of her life without him. We are reaching out to ask for your support in helping her navigate through this incredibly difficult transition. Your donation can provide the stability she needs as she begins to rebuild her life—one she never imagined facing on her own.

Every contribution, no matter the amount, will make a meaningful difference. Please also consider sharing this link with others in your circle. Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and support.
