Stand with Victoria in This Difficult Time

Dear Friends, Family, and Community,

I am reaching out to you today with a heavy heart to ask for your support for my best friend, Victoria Lacroix and her three beautiful daughters, ages just 1, 7, and 16. As some of you know, Michael Lacroix suddenly passed due to the flu and pneumonia on New Year’s Eve leaving behind a loving wife and three young daughters.

Michael was not just a husband and father; he was a friend who would leave prints in each person's life who got to truly know him. He was at times a man of few words to most, but those of us who got to know him will never be the same without his presence. He had a huge heart that would have given the shirt off his back to someone who needed it. He and Victoria were high school sweethearts, sharing 23 years together, including 10 years of marriage filled with cherished memories. Their bond was a testament to love, partnership, and never giving up on the love they shared.

In addition to the emotional toll of losing Michael, this family has faced a series of devastating challenges. Just before Michael’s passing, Victoria lost her father-in-law, and her mother-in-law was hospitalized in the ICU battling flu, pneumonia, and sepsis just a day prior. The compounded losses have left Vikki struggling to make ends meet on her own with the help of close family.

I would like to alleviate some of the financial burdens that she is currently being forced to handle. The funds raised will go directly toward covering memorial costs, outstanding bills, and essential necessities for the family so we can take away at least a portion of the burdens she is facing.

Every donation, no matter how small, will make a significant difference in helping provide for her and their beautiful daughters during this difficult time so she can focus on the healing of her and her babies.

Please consider donating and sharing this fundraiser with your friends and family so she can see she’s not alone. If you cannot donate, please share and pray for them in this extremely difficult time.

Thank you for your compassion and support.

Julia.
