Emily is a dear friend who has endured unimaginable hardship over the past five years. In 2020, her mother was tragically murdered, a loss that shook her family to its core. Since then, Emily has lost her home, been forced to move twelve times, and has faced the challenges of being a single mother to three children. Despite these hardships, Emily has shown incredible strength and resilience, always putting her children first and doing her best to provide them with love and stability.

Recently, Emily suffered the heartbreaking loss of her daughter, Gracie, who was just 21 years old. Gracie was struck by a vehicle on Glenwood Avenue on April 26th, 2026. When she was born, she brought so much more light into this world. Her joy was contagious, and she filled every room with smiles and laughter. Anyone who knew Gracie would agree that she left a lasting impression on their hearts. The loss of Gracie has left Emily and her family devastated, compounding the grief and struggles they have already faced.

All funds raised through this campaign will go directly to covering the funeral and cremation costs for Gracie. Your support will help ease the financial burden on Emily and her family during this incredibly difficult time, allowing them to honor Gracie's memory and begin the long process of healing. Any contribution, no matter the size, will make a meaningful difference. Thank you for your kindness, compassion, and support.
