Help Bring Our Family Home to Say Goodbye Just eight months after losing my stepdad, Brett, our family has suffered another heartbreaking loss. My mom, Rachel Wilson, passed away unexpectedly while my daughter Genesis (“Mini”) and I are living overseas in Italy. If you knew my mom, you know she wasn’t someone who ever asked for anything. She loved fiercely, gave generously, and somehow always managed to put everyone else before herself. Now it’s our turn to honor her. Being stationed overseas has made this incredibly difficult. While my employer will cover my travel home, they have informed me they will not cover Mini’s flight. As a military family, unexpected international travel is something we simply weren’t financially prepared for—especially so soon after the expenses of my stepdad’s funeral. My oldest son, who proudly serves in the U.S. Navy, is still paying off the money he borrowed to help us through Brett’s passing. The rest of our family is also traveling from different states to be together during this incredibly painful time. We’re asking for help with: * Mini’s round-trip airfare from Italy to the United States * Funeral and memorial expenses * Transportation and other unexpected costs that come with bringing our family together to say goodbye If you’re unable to donate, we completely understand. Sharing this fundraiser, keeping our family in your prayers, or sharing memories and photos of my mom means just as much. Thank you for helping us give my mom the farewell she deserves and for allowing our family to be together when we need each other most. From the bottom of our hearts, Shannon, Genesis, Sean, Miguel, Cristiano, and our
