I am raising funds for the Volpe-Blankenship family who lost Michele yesterday. Michele was a fierce mama bear to her beloved daughter, Jessica. She was a loving wife to her husband, Dave. Michele was so caring and funny and an absolute joy to be around. Her presence will be missed by Dave, Jessica, her siblings, nieces and nephews, countless other family, and an infinite number of friends... including her Special Olympics community that she was a strong supporter of.

As Michele did not have life insurance, I am creating this GoFundMe campaign to help ease the financial burden for this family, while they cope with this immense loss. Please help in any way you can, be it $500, $50, $5, or even if you can only share the campaign with 5 friends. Every little bit helps!
