As many of you by now know, my mother, Nadine Mitchell, passed away unexpectedly only a few weeks ago. She was the center of our family— she, until the very end, always put the needs of others before her own. Her sudden loss has left our family devastated and trying to navigate life without her.

Heartbreakingly, she left behind my father, Tim, who lives with a disability and depended on her in many ways. My brother, Ken, also faces profound loss in the wake of the guidance and support my Mom once provided. My sister, Stacie, and I have been deeply impacted by the loss of our mother, the anchor of our family, who quietly (and sometimes stronghandedly) ensured that we were safe, loved, and cared for despite life’s challenges.

As we grieve, we are facing unforeseen financial burdens related to ongoing living and care costs.

We are humbly asking for support during this incredibly challenging time. Any contribution, no matter the size, will help ease the financial strain and allow our family the space to mourn, heal, and begin to rebuild. If you are unable to donate, we are deeply grateful for your thoughts, kind words, and for sharing this page.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We have so far been blown away by the incredible support of our community, as well as the lasting impact my mother clearly made on so many lives.
