We are raising funds to help cover the funeral and memorial costs for Jaz “Daff,” a deeply loved daughter, sister, and friend whose gentle heart and quiet compassion left a lasting impact on everyone who knew her. At just 23 years old, she carried an extraordinary amount of love for others and an equally heavy weight of grief, sensitivity, and emotional pain. We want to give her the peaceful, loving send-off she deserved and honor a life defined by empathy, warmth, and deep connection.

Daff was someone who felt everything deeply and loved without condition. She found meaning in the quiet moments of life. Long walks, time by the sea, and being in nature brought her a sense of peace and grounding. She noticed the beauty in the smallest things and had a rare ability to make people feel seen, understood, and less alone simply by being herself.

As a daughter and sister, she was deeply loved and will always be held close in her family’s hearts. As a friend, she was loyal, compassionate, and emotionally present. She often carried the pain of those she loved alongside her own struggles. Even when she was hurting, her heart remained warm, caring, and open.

Daff had endured profound grief in her life, including the heartbreaking loss of her child at a young age. This was a deeply personal pain that stayed with her and shaped the compassion, understanding, and care she showed to others. She carried this grief quietly, navigating both her sorrow and the disappointment of systems that did not give her the support she needed.

She also faced significant mental health challenges and navigated layers of trauma and grief from other losses in her life. She was deeply affected by the struggles of those closest to her and by the knowledge of how often vulnerable people are failed when they reach out for help. The weight of these experiences stayed with her and added to the fear and anxiety she carried.

Recently, Jaz spoke about how meaningful it was to her when someone she loved was given a respectful and caring send-off. Even while she was struggling, she focused on gratitude and on honoring life with dignity. That moment reflected her true nature, always thoughtful, gentle, and compassionate, thinking of others even when she was hurting.

In the weeks leading up to her passing, Jaz experienced moments when she was deeply unwell and needed care and reassurance. Instead of feeling safe and supported, she felt frightened, alone, and unsettled. That experience intensified her fear and paranoia, adding to the weight she was already carrying. It is heartbreaking to know that at a time when she needed help the most, she did not receive the comfort and protection she deserved.

Jaz did reach out for support and safety, but like too many young people, she did not receive the help she needed. Her suffering was compounded by gaps in the system, leaving her feeling overwhelmed and unheard.

We are raising funds to help cover funeral and memorial costs so that Jaz can be laid to rest with the love, dignity, and peace she deserved. We want to give her a farewell that reflects the depth of her heart, the gentleness of her spirit, and the impact she had, not only as a friend but as a beloved daughter and sister.

Any contribution, no matter how small, helps ease the financial burden on her family during this incredibly painful time. If you are unable to donate, sharing this page or keeping Jaz and her loved ones in your thoughts means more than words can express.

Thank you for helping us honor Jaz “Daff,” a gentle soul, a deep feeler, and a beautiful human who should still be here.
