Mimi has been a beloved member of our Alexandria, Virginia work family for over 20 years, and now she is facing an unimaginable loss. Her husband recently passed away after a difficult battle with cancer, leaving behind Mimi and their three children. As she navigates this heartbreaking time, we want to come together as a community to support her in the same way she has always supported those around her.

For two decades, Mimi has shown up with dedication, kindness, and loyalty. She is the type of person who quietly goes above and beyond, who puts others first, and who brings warmth and stability to the workplace. Now, as she adjusts to life without her husband and as her children cope with the loss of their father, she is carrying not only deep emotional grief, but also the heavy financial strain that often comes with a loss like this.

Funeral expenses, medical bills, and the everyday costs of raising three children do not pause during tragedy. Our hope in raising donations is to help ease some of that burden so that Mimi can focus on what truly matters right now: her healing and the well-being of her kids. These funds can help with immediate expenses such as funeral and memorial costs, household bills, childcare needs, and basic necessities, as well as provide a small cushion as she navigates this painful transition into a new chapter of life.

Mimi has spent so many years taking care of others—her family, her coworkers, and the patients and people who benefit from the work she helps support every day. This is our opportunity to take care of her. No contribution is too small; every bit is a gesture of love, compassion, and solidarity. Even if you are unable to donate, sharing this page or keeping Mimi and her family in your thoughts and prayers makes a difference.

Thank you for helping us wrap Mimi and her children in the support, kindness, and comfort they need during this incredibly difficult moment.
