We are Team Tosha:

Matthew Craven, Bloodstone, Angela Hennessy, Christopher Robin Duncan, and Rachel Weidinger. All of us loved Tosha Stimage, and are supporting her as our new ancestor. We join Tosha’s family in grieving her death: Barbara (mother), Willy (father), Josh (brother), Balencia (sister), and her nieces and nephews Aya, Safiya, Habib, Souad, Jamarri, and Brandon Lee.

Tosha joins her brother Julian who died in 2025.

On Tuesday, March 3 2026 our beloved Tosha Stimage died of complications with her heart.

We celebrate the beautiful life of Tosha Stimage: an extraordinary artist, flower lover, host, teacher, friend, and community member. She influenced us with her teachings and art. Tosha will be deeply missed by many.

A Saint Flora to all of us.

Tosha showed us how to engage in practices of solidarity rather than charity. This mutual aid fundraiser is for us to join in financial solidarity to cover all funeral and related expenses including:

-medical and coroner bills

-funeral home costs in Oakland

-transport Tosha’s body from Oakland to her family in Columbus, Ohio

-funeral and burial costs in Columbus

-support family traveling to Columbus for the funeral and to the Bay for Tosha’s memorials in late May

-pay rent on Tosha’s studio until her belongings can be gifted

-cover related expenses we have not anticipated yet

With the blessing of Tosha's immediate family, Tosha's partner and our dear friend- Matthew Craven is the beneficiary of this fund raiser and will be responsible for paying all costs mentioned above.

Any amount is greatly appreciated, no matter how small it may feel.

Tosha was known for her generosity. Whatever she had she shared.

She gifted food and flowers regularly to people on the Saint Flora block and beyond.

If additional funds remain after reimbursements, a trust will be established for Tosha’s youngest family members.

Efforts are underway to plan a series of memorial activities in the Bay the week of May 23-31, 2026.
