Support Carissa & Chase After Loss of Their Mom

Carissa, 23, and her younger brother Chase, 15, are facing a life-changing moment after the sudden loss of their beloved mother, Belinda Abbott, on November 6, 2025. Belinda was a vibrant and loving presence in their lives, known for her honesty, warmth, and deep love for her children. She worked for many years as a server at Bob Evans, where her kindness touched everyone she met. Her passing has left a huge void in the lives of Carissa and Chase, who are now navigating this difficult time together.

With their mother gone, Carissa is stepping up to become Chase’s legal guardian. This means her living situation is changing, and she is welcoming her brother into her home. Carissa is determined to provide Chase with the stability and care he needs, but the sudden shift comes with many challenges. She now faces increased expenses for rent, groceries, legal fees, and school supplies for Chase. The holidays are approaching, making this transition even more emotional and financially demanding.

Carissa and Chase are doing their best to support each other, but they can’t do it alone. Any help you can offer will go directly toward helping Carissa create a safe and loving home for her brother. Your support will make a real difference as they adjust to this new chapter in their lives. Please consider donating or sharing their story to help them through this difficult time.
