Dear Friends, Family, and Supporters,

It is with the heaviest of hearts that I write to share the news that our beloved Nina has passed away. She was surrounded by the warmth, love, and presence of her family during her final moments.

While we are completely heartbroken by this monumental loss, we find comfort in knowing that she is at peace and that she felt the immense wave of love from this community. Nina was a bright light in all of our lives—a devoted friend, a kind soul, and above all, an extraordinary mother.

A Shift in Our Mission

Many of you have already given so generously to support Nina’s recovery and care. Words cannot express how much your kindness meant to Nina and to all of us. You gave us hope and tangible support when we needed it most.

Because our reality has now changed, we are shifting the focus of this fundraiser. Moving forward, all funds raised will go directly toward:

• Funeral and Memorial Costs: Ensuring we can give Nina the beautiful, dignified farewell she deserves.

• Scarlett's Future: Nina’s greatest masterpiece and her absolute world was her daughter, Scarlett. We want to ensure Scarlett is surrounded by stability, care, and the resources she needs as she navigates life without her mom.

How You Can Help

If you are able to contribute further, or if you are seeing this for the first time, your donation will directly ease the financial strain on the family during this time of grieving.

If you cannot donate, please consider sharing this update. Keeping Nina's memory alive and surrounding Scarlett with community is the greatest gift you can give right now.

Thank you again for your compassion, your generosity, and for loving Nina so well.

Love,

Brittany
