Hello everyone. I’m so sorry to share that my stepfather, Rich, has passed away unexpectedly. This loss has been devastating for our family, and my mom is now facing the overwhelming challenge of supporting their household on her own. With the rising cost of living, making ends meet on only one income is almost impossible in today’s world.

This fundraiser is to help ease her financial burden during this extremely difficult time. The money raised will go directly toward covering major living expenses—like rent, utilities, groceries, and other essentials—so she can focus on caring for my little brother and finding stability after such a sudden loss. Every donation, no matter the size, will make a real difference in their lives.

Any support during this time would mean so much to our family. Rich was an amazing father, husband, sibling, and friend, and his loss is unimaginable. Thank you for considering a donation or sharing this fundraiser to help my mom and brother as they process this loss. Anything is greatly appreciated.
