My name is Branden and this GoFundMe is for our dear second-grade teacher, Lisa Vannoy. Lisa has been a pivotal part of not only our daughter's education throughout both first and second grade, but also the students of Trinity Lutheran.

Very recently, she lost her beloved fur baby, Nelson. We all know how hard it can be to lose such an amazing pet.

Without getting into all of the details, Lisa threw all of her resources at Nelson to try to prolong the inevitable.

Now Lisa is facing some incredibly large veterinarian bills. Dr. Ibarra and I decided that we would start a GoFundMe account in the hopes that we all could come together and help her take care of these large amounts since she has done so much for us and our wonderful children.
