Support Helen's Children After Her Passing

Donation protected
Help provide Helen De Cruz's children with a better start in life after her untimely passing.

Helen lived a rich and meaningful life. She was a prolific, creative, and widely-beloved philosopher, loving mother and spouse, author of numerous books (including "Wonderstruck"), published author of fiction, visual artist, and lute-player.

She leaves behind her husband, Johan De Smedt; her 21-year-old daughter, Aliénor ("Eleanore"), a history major just finishing her third year of college; and her 12-year old son, Gabriel.

Half of this GoFundMe go toward a trust fund for Gabriel, and the other half to a trust fund to help pay for Aliénor's Master's degree.
