Hello, my name is Naomi Mendzer, and Stephanie Servin has been my best friend for over 20 years. We met in kindergarten, grew up side by side, and over time became more like sisters than friends. Together with her family and close friends, I am helping to organize this GoFundMe to support Stephanie and her daughter, Darby, during this heartbreaking time.

Stephanie’s life was forever changed when her husband, Danny, passed away suddenly and tragically under unforeseen circumstances. He leaves behind their beautiful one-year-old daughter, Darby, who was the absolute light of his life and his perfect little twin.

This loss is unimaginable. Our hearts are broken, and we are still trying to comprehend and cope with the weight of it all.

What has carried Stephanie and her family in these first days is the incredible outpouring of love and support from friends, family, and the community. So many of you have reached out asking how you can help—and for that reason, I’ve created this GoFundMe.

All donations will go directly toward giving Stephanie and Darby stability and support as they begin navigating this painful new chapter. Whether it’s helping with immediate expenses, household needs, or giving Darby a secure future, your contribution will make an enormous difference.

No matter the size, every donation is deeply appreciated, and every gesture of kindness means the world. From the bottom of our hearts—thank you.
