Helping the Oppenheimer Family Through Great Loss

Dear friends, family, and compassionate acquaintances,

It's with a heavy heart that we share this message. On December 2nd, our beloved Marcielle passed away unexpectedly, from an undiagnosed catastrophic aortic dissection. She leaves behind a loving husband, Ben (a former Marine), who is now faced with the immense responsibility of caring for their two children, Maddox and Evelyn, amidst this heart-wrenching loss. As we navigate this difficult time in what is normally the most joyous season, we're faced with overwhelming grief and unforeseen expenses—medical bills, funeral costs, and the impact of sudden loss on the family's income.

About Marcielle:

Marcielle was an adventurous, spunky soul who most enjoyed the gift of motherhood. While she was passionate about many things, it all paled in comparison to her love for Maddox and Evelyn. She cared deeply for all her family and friends, and showed it in many ways, whether through her creativity, an empathetic hug, or a long conversation. She brought so much love and joy into our lives, and her absence is deeply felt by all who knew her.

The Need for Support:

In the wake of this tragedy, the financial burden is substantial. Medical bills attributed to her tragic loss and funeral expenses are significant. The sudden loss of income has added an additional layer of stress for the family. Ben is now facing the daunting task of being the sole provider and caretaker for their two children, adding to the complexity of this heartbreaking situation.

How You Can Help:

Your support, whether big or small, can make a significant difference. Every donation will go directly toward covering medical expenses, funeral/memorial costs, and supporting Ben and their children during this incredibly challenging period. Additionally, sharing this fundraiser within your network of individuals who also knew Marcielle and would like to show their support for her family, or those that are sympathetic towards the difficulty this young family is experiencing, would be greatly appreciated.

Words cannot express our gratitude for the outpouring of love, support, and kindness during this heartbreaking time. Your generosity and compassion mean the world to us and to Marcielle's family.

On behalf of Ben, Maddox, and Evelyn,

With much gratitude and appreciation,

the family thanks you for your support during this time
