On Monday evening, the world lost someone irreplaceable. Our beloved Bree — a poet, a connector, a soul who carried beauty in her palms and handed it to others freely — took her own life. She lived in a way that made every ordinary moment shimmer. Through her words, her presence, and her unending tenderness, she helped people see the sacred in the small: a breath, a leaf, a shared silence, a fleeting spark of joy. Bree moved through life offering light, even when she struggled to find it for herself.

Those who loved her know how fiercely she cared. She poured her spirit into lifting others, weaving community, holding stories, and reminding us that we were never alone. Her absence is a shockwave, and her loss is immeasurable. But the love she gave — and the love we carry for her — remains.

This fundraiser is for her partner Filiz, who is navigating the deepest grief while suddenly facing the practical weight of living expenses alone. In honor of Bree’s giving nature, we hope to ease that burden for the next several months so she may have space to mourn, breathe, and begin to heal without the immediate fear of financial instability. Any support, no matter the size, will help hold her up in a moment that feels impossible.

Thank you for helping us honor Bree’s legacy by extending the same compassion she spent her life offering to others.
