My daughter, Sunshine Jewel Snider, was a bright light in our lives and in the lives of everyone she met. She had a deep love and passion for helping and saving animals, and her laughter and smile were truly contagious. Sunshine was incredibly talented in her art, and she loved performing and putting on shows for her community. She always encouraged her friends to love who they were and never judged anyone, always wanting to see both people and animals cared for and loved.

Sunshine’s passing was sudden and heartbreaking. She took her own life at her favorite hiking place in the mountains, a spot that brought her peace and comfort. The loss has left our family and her friends devastated, and we are struggling to come to terms with her absence. We want to honor her memory and the kindness she showed to everyone around her.

We are raising funds to help cover the immediate costs of Sunshine’s funeral and memorial services, as well as other related expenses. Any support will help us give her the loving farewell she deserves and ease the financial burden during this incredibly difficult time. Thank you for helping us remember and celebrate Sunshine’s beautiful spirit.
