Support Danielle Nordyke's Family in Their Time of Grief

Donation protected
Hey there, we are coming to you all on behalf of our sister Danielle Nordyke and her beautiful kids, Ariadne and Margot. They have been put in such an unfortunate situation and could use help in getting back on their feet after suffering a heartbreaking loss. While a financial donation doesn't make grief disappear, it can help immensely in regaining a sense of normalcy.

Back in February of 2024, Danielle's wife and our sister-in-law, Rachel Anderson, was taken to the ER to remove two brain tumors that ultimately ended in a diagnosis of glioblastoma brain cancer. Rachel fought this brain cancer for well over a year, a hard year of ups and downs, with Danielle and the kids right at her side. Unfortunately, Rachel passed away the morning of Tuesday, May 13th, 2025.

Needless to say, the family will be facing many burdens while they grieve the loss of Rachel. A donation to this Gofundme can help the family cover service and medical bills incurred, along with providing the family some time to grieve in being able to pause from any work obligations.

It is not easy to lose someone, let alone your spouse and mother to your kids. It is wholly unfair to take such a beloved person, like Rachel, well before her time. Rachel was a person who was fiercely intelligent and graciously humble, she laughed hard and deep with us many times. She was one hell of a cook and baker, food being one of her biggest passions, she LOVED butter. She was a loving sister, mother and a loving wife. She will be dearly missed.
