All who knew Vanessa know what a beautiful person she was inside and out. Unfortunately, she was involved in a fatal car accident on her way to work just two days before Christmas. This world only got her for 25 short years, but in that time, she made a lasting impact on everyone she met. Vanessa had such a lust for life and brought joy to those around her. She was always there for anyone who needed her, offering kindness, support, and a listening ear. She loved road trips, music, movies, concerts, and anything that involved friends, family, and her beloved dog, Bowie. Her warmth and generosity touched so many lives, and her absence leaves a void that cannot be filled.

I’ve gotten the okay to set up this fundraiser to help Vanessa’s heartbroken and overwhelmed mother with the unexpected expenses involved in planning her oldest daughter’s funeral. The loss of Vanessa has been devastating for her family, and the financial burden of these sudden costs only adds to their pain. By coming together as a community, we can help ease some of the stress and allow her family to focus on honoring Vanessa’s memory and supporting each other through this incredibly difficult time.

Any amount will help and is deeply appreciated. Nothing is too small, and every donation goes directly to Vanessa’s family. If you are unable to donate, please consider sharing this fundraiser to help us reach others who may want to support. Thank you for your kindness, compassion, and for keeping Vanessa’s spirit alive in your hearts.
