On Saturday, December 6th, my mom, TJ and nephew Mak were on their way to Montana to watch my girls dance recital, at 9:32am tragedy struck when they hit black ice and were in a horrific accident. Mak and my mom were life flighted. Mak has minor injuries. My mom has laceration to head, ear, finger and broken sternum, she stayed the night in the hospital but is home now.

With heavy heart, our family experienced an unimaginable tramuatic loss of my mom's other half, my kid's Papa T, the person to show me and my sister what a fathers love looks like, my husband's golf partner, comedian partner, The most positive male figure Mak has had, our everything. He was a favorite of everyone's and touched the live of every person he met! This loss has left our family grieving, overwhelmed, and facing unexpected expenses during an already devastating time. We have already ran into multiple bumps in the road that have showed diffulty as we work with insurances, the towing company, the coroners office, etc.

Many people have reached out asking how they can help. I decided the best way to reach people far and near was to create this fundraiser to support my family with:

Funeral and memorial expenses

Time off work to grieve

Meals

Household needs and unexpected costs in the coming weeks

Any amount — big or small — will make a meaningful difference and help ease the financial burden as we navigate this painful season. If you’re unable to donate, sharing this page or continuing to hold our family in your thoughts and prayers is deeply appreciated.

Thank you for your kindness, love, and support. ❤️
