Remembering Trisha Haapoja as we remain a Village.

Donation protected
Trisha was a mother, a wife,  a sister, a daughter, a friend, a nurse, a dancer, and a fighter.  These last 4 years Trisha once again took on cancer by the bullhorns and with determination and strength fought the fight that seems so incredibly unfair. Trisha loved everyone around her without conditions, she was ready to fight for you, walk beside you and share her roots of compassion and wisdom with an overflowing heart.

Our hearts break as Trisha took her final breathe in the early hours of Monday, September 22nd.  She was surrounded by her husband Matthew, her daughter Lillian (14), her son Oliver (8) and her family.  We all love her, we already miss her, and we will continue to love her as we love her family in this next chapter God is paving the way for.

Many are wanting to help, to contribute, and to love on the Haapoja family in this time of heartache, as we are the village of faith, hope, strength and grace.  God truly blesses our hearts with the hearts of many that wrap around our lives. 

Two funds are being set up in her memory: (1) an Education Fund for Lillian & Oliver and (2) a Charitable fund toward METAvivor. Trisha felt passionate about the work within METAvivor, METAvivor is dedicated to the specific fight of women and men living with stage 4 metastatic breast cancer. You can read more about METAvivor on METAVIVOR.

Trisha will be dearly missed, never forgotten, I can hear her determination in so many moments of my own life, as I know each of you can as well. 

Matthew Haapoja will be the beneficiary of this gofundme account.  Thank you for loving on this beautiful family in this heartbreaking time of their life journey.
