On February 6th, my family experienced an unimaginable tragedy. My mother-in-law Mary Ptaszenski was struck and killed by a drunk driver while walking to get breakfast with a friend. The suddenness of her loss has left our family heartbroken and struggling to come to terms with what has happened.

As we try to navigate this difficult time, we are also faced with the unexpected burden of burial expenses. The costs associated with laying a loved one to rest are overwhelming, and we are reaching out to our community for support. Every contribution, no matter the size, will help ease the financial strain and allow us to honor her memory in the way she deserves.

Any help is greatly appreciated during this time of unimaginable loss. Your kindness and support mean more to us than words can express. Thank you for keeping our family in your thoughts and for considering a donation to help us through this painful chapter.
