My family is facing an unimaginable loss after my 18-year-old niece, Cierra, died in a car accident on May 9th, 2026. She was a bright, loving presence in our lives, always bringing joy and laughter to those around her. Her sudden passing has left us heartbroken and struggling to cope with the reality of her absence. This tragedy has been especially hard on her mom, Tammy, and her twin sister, Dakota, who are both trying to find strength and comfort in the midst of their grief. As we try to come to terms with this loss, we are also faced with the unexpected financial burden that comes with saying goodbye to someone so young.

We are raising funds to help cover funeral expenses and bills during this incredibly difficult time. The costs have added up quickly, and any support will help ease the stress on our family as we focus on honoring Cierra’s memory and supporting each other—especially Tammy and Dakota—through our grief. Your generosity will allow us to give her the farewell she deserves and help us manage the day-to-day expenses that have become overwhelming.

We are deeply grateful for any support during this difficult time. Your kindness and generosity will help ease the financial burden on our family as we honor Cierra’s memory and support Tammy and Dakota. Every donation, no matter the size, means so much to us.
