Our family is raising funds in loving memory of my sister, Elise, who was tragically taken from us at the young age of 27 in a devastating car accident involving a drunk driver. She was killed at the scene, leaving our family and community heartbroken and struggling to understand how someone so sweet and special could be gone so suddenly.

Elise had a presence that could light up any room, and her laughter, energy, and love touched so many people. She was a loving mother, daughter, sister, and an incredible friend. Elise was one of a kind, and she could never be replaced.

Most importantly, Elise was a newly devoted mother to her three month old baby girl, who will now have to grow up not ever knowing or feeling the love of her mother. Elise was the primary provider for daughter. Her sudden passing has brought unimaginable, traumatic emotional loss, and it has also created immediate financial hardship for her daughter and our family. I want to honor Elise with the farewell she deserves while also helping make sure her daughter is cared for and supported in the future.

Donations will go toward Elise's funeral expenses and toward supporting her daughter's future education. Any contribution, no matter the amount, would mean so much to our family during this heartbreaking time. If you are unable to donate, sharing this fundraiser and keeping Elise, her daughter, and our loved ones in your thoughts and prayers would also be deeply appreciated. Thank you for your love, support, and generosity as we remember Elise and carry her memory forward.
