Support Caitlin's Trip to Girls Just Wanna Weekend

Ok, I've never done a GoFundMe before, but I'm here asking for you to consider a donation to help us get our dear friend Caitlin to Brandi Carlile's music festival in Mexico - Girls Just Wanna Weekend.

Caitlin's fiancé, Jessica Carter, passed away last month after a 14-month-long battle fighting colon cancer. Caitlin was her primary caretaker and has been through a heartbreaking journey, to say the least.

This experience would be very meaningful, as Brandi Carlile's music and her fan club community (we're called The Bramily) have been a large part of Caitlin and Jessica's love story.

While they are both huge fans of her music separately, it was a shared bond that quickly became a soundtrack of their relationship. Their first trip together was to a Brandi concert in Austin, and they traveled to many shows together throughout the rest of their relationship. After Jess was first diagnosed, she was invited backstage to meet Brandi in the summer of 2023, which was a dream come true. Most recently, Jess took her last trip to Red Rocks in Colorado this September, where they sat front row, Caitlin proposed, and Brandi announced their engagement from the stage! Sadly, Jess passed away in October before their planned wedding this month.

Needless to say, Caitlin could surely use the time away to be with Bramily and experience this music vacation. We can't imagine being there without her in this time of grieving. We’d also like to do a Bramily tribute to Jess while we’re there, but that’s TBD.

Your support will help fund her all-inclusive room and flights for her (traveling from Minneapolis) and her sister (traveling from Boston) to attend. Thank you for considering.
