Hi, my name is Reily and on August 22nd, 2023, my sister Mackenzie unexpectedly passed away.

Our family cannot imagine what life is going to be like without her infectious laugh, playful spirit, and one-of-a-kind personality.

We are devastated by the loss of Mackenzie and can only hope she has been reunited with her pre-deceased daughter, Ophelia (6/23/2022 - 10/13/2022). We know that Mackenzie was in tremendous pain after the loss of her daughter and we pray she is no longer suffering.

Mackenzie’s mother, Emily (49) wishes to have a private celebration-of-life ceremony and is in dire need of financial support to cover Cremation costs. For Emily to be able to properly grieve this insurmountable loss, she will need some time away from work, so any donations will also go a long way in helping with bills and groceries over the next couple of weeks. Emily is a single mother to Jasmyne (5) who is struggling to understand the loss of her “sissy.” Jasmyne’s first day of Kindergarten is tomorrow and we are working hard to maintain some semblance of normalcy for her during this time.

It is never easy to ask for help no matter how helpless you feel, but I’m humbly asking on behalf of our family that you consider donating anything you can. Words cannot express how we will appreciate it.

With gratitude,

Reily & Emily
