On the morning of April 4th, my dear friend Andrea experienced an unimaginable tragedy—she lost her husband, Rick, far too soon. They were in the early years of building a life together, full of plans, dreams, and love. That journey was suddenly and heartbreakingly cut short.

Now, Andrea is facing not only the emotional pain of this loss, but also the unexpected financial burden that comes with it. As the sole income provider for her home now, managing funeral expenses on top of caring for her children, maintaining their household, and missing work is an overwhelming challenge.

I’m starting this fundraiser in hopes of easing just a part of that burden. If you feel moved to help, please consider donating. Every contribution—no matter the amount—will be a blessing and deeply appreciated by Andrea and her family during this incredibly difficult time.

Thank you for your kindness, compassion, and support.
