Sudden Loss of the Family’s Rock

Donation protected
In 2006 Karen and James met in an online game platform and became friends. Neither expecting that just one year later, they’d be married September 1, 2007.  Their story, however, is one for the books. Against all odds, Karen and James were finally able to lay roots down with their family they had created in New Zealand. They were happy. They were in love. 
Unfortunately, on august 20, 2023 the rock of their family collapsed. James passed away just before his 34rd birthday of what appears to be myocarditis, leaving Karen without her soulmate and breadwinner and their two daughters Lily, & Kira without a father. 
I’m putting this gofundme together in hopes to relieve a heavy burden Karen is facing right now. How do you lay to rest the love of your life and continue to raise your family? 
I’m hoping we can come together for Karen and her girls by donating, whatever you can spare? Times are tough right now, I know, so anything helps.  Even just a share. 

On behalf of Karen, Lily, and Kira thank you all so very much for all your generous donations!
