Some of you may know my sister Tracey and some of you may not. Three years ago, she lost a daughter to Niemann-Pick disease, and on 4/26/26, she lost her other daughter, Ramanda, to the same devastating illness. Niemann-Pick is a rare disease that takes the lives of those we love too soon. To go through this once is heart shattering, but to have to go through this a second time three years later is unfathomable. My sister is the strongest person I know and would never ask for help, so I am reaching out on her behalf to assist with funeral costs.

Ramanda was a fun spirited girl who loved Stitch, the zoo, and being with family. Her joyful energy and love for life touched everyone around her, and her memory will always be cherished by those who knew her.

Tracey is a single mother to her 12-year-old son and is self-employed. She had to close her business this week as she faces this unimaginable loss. The financial strain of funeral expenses, combined with the emotional toll, is overwhelming. Every contribution, no matter the size, will help ease the stress of these expenses and allow her to focus on healing and remembering her beloved daughters.

If you are unable to give at this time, it would be greatly appreciated if you could share the link on your page. Thank you for your support, compassion, and for helping Tracey’s family during this incredibly challenging moment.
