In Memory of Brianna Kelson: Funeral Fund

"My name is Virginia Romero. On July 4th, I lost the most important person in my life, my Brianna Kelson, due to a hit and run. She was my nineteen-year-old daughter, who was full of life. At her core, she was such a respectful, loving, and caring young lady for everyone around her. She was my anchor during the hardest times and always was my biggest light in my darkest moments. Her dream was to someday become a nurse and help people. That's who my princess was..."

- Virginia Romero, mother of Brianna Kelson.

On July 4th, we lost our dearest Brianna Kelson. Brianna was a happy, bright, and loving young lady. She was full of life and dreams with a really big heart. She absolutely loved her mother and did anything to help her mom and her family.

Brianna was on her way to work at 4:50 am. She had to open for Wendy's at 5 am. Brianna was killed instantly in an hit and run due to someone running a red light and speeding down Bloomingdale Ave.

We know how loved she was by our community and the service she provided to our city. To those closer to Brianna, you know her as someone loving, caring, respectful, and influential. To her mother and family, they didn't just lose a daughter. They lost a pillar of happiness, a pillar of hope, and a pillar of true virtue.

We are fundraising to pay for Brianna's funeral expenses.
