Hello, I'm Grace Olinkiewicz, and as many of you know, my mom passed very suddenly after a month-long stay in the hospital to treat various ailments. My mom's passing was so sudden and unexpected that she didn't even have a will to instruct us on what she would like after her death.

My siblings and I are doing our best to give mom the funeral she deserves to honor her life and legacy, but we do not, at this time, have the funds to give her that. My family and I would be forever grateful to any and all help, whether it be donations, hands to help with cleaning out the house, or simply a bent ear to listen to stories about our beloved mom.

Shelter Island has been my mom's home for over 30 years, please help us continue to keep the Island as her home. Thank you.

All donations will be put towards my mom's funeral.
