I'm Julie Francis, Kari Bowman's sister in law. I'm the sister of Kathy Francis, Kari's partner of 36 years.

Kari's passing has added stress to an already difficult financial situation for Kathy. If you are able to help cover funeral expenses or help make support Kathy financially during this difficult time, we would be so grateful.

If you can't give financially, one of the best things you can do to support Kathy is to offer her rides - to doctors appointments, to the grocery store, etc. - as Kathy is unable to drive and lives in a rural area. She is aware of this Go Fund Me and grateful for your help.

If you prefer a different way to honor Kari, other ideas include:

I will ensure every penny of these donations get to Kathy. Thank you.
