On July 26, 2025, we said goodbye to our beloved Lisa—a bright light, a loyal friend, and, above all, a devoted mother. She left this world far too soon, but not without leaving behind a legacy of love, strength, and unwavering care for her son, Caelum.

Lisa worked tirelessly to ensure Caelum had the best possible start in life. This fall, he’ll begin high school in a program she thoughtfully chose—one that nurtures his potential and supports his unique needs as a young person on the autism spectrum.

In honour of Lisa, we’ve created this fund to help continue the path she so carefully laid out for him. Your support will go toward:

Ongoing care and daily living needs

Specialized services and therapies to support his development

Educational resources to help him thrive in his new school environment

Stability and comfort as he navigates this profound loss

Caelum is a vibrant, curious, and imaginative young person with a wide range of interests. He’s passionate about Star Wars, LEGO, Comicon, old trains, swimming, and gymnastics. More recently, he’s expressed an interest in learning about the film industry—something Lisa would have been thrilled to help him explore. This fund will also help open doors for him to pursue these passions and discover new ones along the way.

If you know of any organizations or programs in Ontario or Nova Scotia that offer supportive services or activities—particularly those that align with his interests or support youth on the autism spectrum—we would be so grateful to hear from you. As his new guardians begin to navigate this journey, your recommendations could make a world of difference.

Every donation, no matter the size, is a gesture of love and solidarity with Lisa’s memory—and a meaningful step in helping Caelum carry her strength, spirit, and imagination forward.

Thank you for holding space for them both.
