Help Our Daughter Michele Rebuild After Husbands Mental Health Crisis

We are organizing this fundraiser on behalf of our daughter Michele.

Earlier this month, Michele’s life was shattered by a devastating mental health crisis involving her husband, who experienced a manic episode with psychosis. While in that state, he emptied their entire home—throwing away every single belonging, including family heirlooms, furniture, cookware, clothes, and even the most basic necessities.

In the span of a single weekend, more than $10,000 was spent on their shared credit cards—further compounding the emotional and financial toll of this crisis.

As of now, we do not know where he is, and he has not been in contact with any family. We are deeply worried about his safety and well-being, but in the meantime, Michele is facing the unimaginable task of rebuilding her life from scratch.

I’m setting up this GoFundMe to help my daughter begin again.

If you know Michele, you know she is fiercely independent. She would never ask for help unless it was absolutely necessary—and right now, it is.

Your donations will go directly toward:

-Replacing basic household necessities

-Emergency living expenses

-Supporting Michele’s healing process as she navigates this traumatic and unexpected chapter

-Medical bills related to the mental health crisis

Michele is doing everything she can to hold things together, but no one should have to face something like this alone.

Mental health crises ripple outward, affecting more than just one person—and the recovery process is long, uncertain, and often deeply lonely. Thank you for helping us surround Michele with love, support, and hope as she begins this next chapter.

With love and thanks,

Daane Family
