On December 27th, I lost my best friend since I was fourteen years old, Maureen Mangled. Maureen grew up in Brick, New Jersey, and was a loving mother and daughter. Her sudden passing due to complications from diabetes has left a deep void in the lives of everyone who knew her. She was a devoted friend, always there for those she loved, and her kindness touched so many people in our community.

Maureen leaves behind two small children and a mother who is also facing health challenges. The loss has been overwhelming for her family, and they are now facing the difficult task of moving forward without her. I am raising money to help provide care and support for Maureen's children and her mother during this incredibly hard time. The funds will help cover their immediate needs and offer some stability as they adjust to life without Maureen.

It would mean so much to me, and to Maureen's family, if you could offer your support. Every contribution, no matter the size, will help reassure this family that they are not alone and that their community cares. Thank you for considering a donation to help take care of Maureen's children and her mother.
