In Loving Memory of Raissa Emanuel's Thomas

Losing a loved one is always challenging. But, losing a child can literally take your breath away. Fortunately for Raissa, she had an amazing family to care for her in her short 23-year life. She was born with cerebral palsy and was lucky to have a Mother by the name of Michelle Thomas, who would do whatever it took to provide excellent care. She had a full life despite its brevity and was able to finish and graduate from high school. Sadly, she became septic, and it was more than her little fragile body could survive. Raissa did not have any coverage to take care of her final expenses due to her health. In an effort to ease the financial burden on this amazing family, I am starting this fundraiser to help with the final expenses. Go-fund-me campaigns to cover expenses from a tragic loss always sadden me, but this loss hits especially close to home given the fragility of all of her days here on earth and the tremendous family effort that went into making sure her life was full and rich. She will undoubtedly be missed, and any contribution that you can make to ease the financial burden for this amazing family will be much appreciated.
