Support For Kasia (after Vano's Sudden Death)
Donation protected
Hi, my name is Maranda and I am raising money for my dear friend, Kasia, who lost her partner, Vano very suddenly this winter.
Kasia and Vano were the true loves of each other's lives. They were life partners and supported each other in all aspects of life. Vano, a creative force to be reckoned with in the electronic music world, and Kasia, a talented writer.
In early December, when Kasia was away at a writer’s retreat, Vano passed away unexpectedly while working in the music studio of their shared home. The moment Kasia found out, her world fell apart. Since that day in early December, it has been a living hell for Kasia.
Grief is always hard, but when someone’s partner dies suddenly, way too young, they are left in complete shock and disbelief. Now, a few months after Vano’s death, as the shock of the loss is wearing off, the deep sadness is setting in - all while the realities of life are hitting. On top of the grief, Kasia is worried about money. Without Vano’s income, she is struggling to keep her finances afloat. These harsh financial realities are hitting right at the moment she needs some time and space to heal and to figure out what to do next.
I reach out to you, Kasia’s community, my community, and all the communities of people who know what it is to lose someone suddenly and without warning, to donate to this fund to support Kasia in her time of grief. This money will provide some financial cushion and give her some time to grieve and figure out how she is going to move forward without Vano.
Thank you in advance for your generosity.
