Big News: Honoring Kali by Launching Coloring Kali’s World Foundation – No Family Left Behind

Dear Amazing Supporters,

From the bottom of my heart, thank you. Because of your generosity, love, and shares, we successfully raised $25,000 (and more through additional gifts) to give my beautiful daughter Kali Ashley the peaceful, dignified farewell she deserved. Kali was laid to rest on December 30, 2025, at Inglewood Park Cemetery in Los Angeles, surrounded by the love and memories she inspired.

Here’s the full, transparent breakdown of how every dollar was used (total expenses ~$30,577.55):

- Cemetery & Funeral Home Bill (Inglewood Park Cemetery): $25,577.55 – This covered the double interment privilege grave ($19,354.50 incl. tax), endowment care ($1,935.45), interment/recording fees ($1,424.50), standard white vault ($970.00), granite memorial tablet ($1,124.55), and other surcharges. Paid in full on December 15, 2025.

- Flowers for the Service: $1,200 – Beautiful arrangements to reflect Kali’s vibrant, colorful spirit.

- Obituary Printing & Distribution: $500 – Design, local papers, and online placement to share her story.

- Horse-Drawn Carriage Procession: $2,500 – A special, magical touch for her send-off.

- Dove Release: $800 – Symbolic release representing peace and Kali’s free spirit.

The original GoFundMe covered the core $25,000, with the small overage met by personal funds and extra donor contributions. Everything was handled with care, and I’m forever grateful—no words can express what your support meant during the darkest days.

Now, with Kali’s burial complete, I’m channeling this momentum into something lasting: launching the Coloring Kali’s World Foundation – “No Family Left Behind: Support, Scholarships, and Justice.”

Kali’s preventable loss from a severe asthma attack during a court-ordered visitation—despite my repeated warnings to the family court about her life-threatening condition—has shown me how broken systems can fail our most vulnerable children. This foundation will honor her by fighting for change so no other family endures this pain.

We’ll provide:

- Mediation, counseling, and reunification therapy

- Financial aid for court/emergency costs

- Education on parenting, legal rights, and chronic conditions like asthma

- Legal/document support, childcare during hearings, and transportation

- Advocacy for fair representation and judicial accountability

We’ll award scholarships to medical students from impacted families, and create awareness tools like coloring books to educate about asthma and more.

A key focus is Kali’s Law—model legislation mandating courts prioritize treating physicians’ recommendations, require emergency medical plans, recognize medically vulnerable children, and ensure accountability for ignoring evidence. We’ll start in Nevada (where Kali’s case happened), build coalitions, and push for state passage—then escalate to Capitol Hill and adapt internationally through partnerships.

To make this real, I’ve evolved the campaign to a $100,000 goal for the foundation’s first-year startup as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. This covers incorporation ($1,500), legal/professional fees ($10,000), website/marketing ($5,000), program startup/family support ($30,000), initial scholarship ($20,000), advocacy initiatives ($15,000), lobbying for Kali’s Law ($15,000), and operations ($3,500). Full details in the main story—updates will follow every milestone.

Donations remain on this same campaign (no need to start a new one).

Your continued belief in Kali’s legacy means everything. Let’s turn grief into global justice—no family left behind. Share widely, and thank you for keeping her light shining.

With endless gratitude,

Heather Rise
