Lesley's childhood best friend and family are navigating the heartbreak of losing their 12-year-old granddaughter, when she made the unimaginable decision to give her spirit back to the universe. Emotional and financial upheaval lay in the wake of such a devastating loss and temporary struggle to keep up with critical living expenses, including mortgage, car, and insurance payments. The financial paralysis brought on by grief has made it nearly impossible to focus on anything beyond day-to-day survival. In addition to these urgent needs, the family hopes to modify or transform the shared bedroom space where their granddaughter transitioned—a space that holds deep memories for her mother and little sister. Creating a healing environment is an important step toward helping them process their grief and begin to rebuild.

This is a painful path to walk, especially with the deep discomfort that comes with asking for help in such a raw time. Your kind support, whatever the size, is a blessing to us and deeply appreciated. Thank you for considering a gift to help this family find hope and healing.
