Holly and Leesa shared 25 years together, building a life filled with love, challenges, and unwavering support. Leesa struggled with addiction for many years, and Holly was always by her side, doing everything she could to help Leesa find and use resources to get sober and stay sober. Despite Holly’s constant encouragement and care, Leesa’s journey was a difficult one, and she ultimately passed away from an overdose at just 45 years old. With both of Leesa’s parents having passed away in recent years, her only close family now is a sister, leaving Holly to face this loss and the responsibilities that come with it largely on her own.

Leesa was not only Holly’s partner but also her daily support. Holly is physically disabled and relied on Leesa for help around the house, especially with tasks like laundry, which required going to the basement—something Holly cannot do. Now, friends and family are working to move the laundry area to the main floor, but this requires making space and hiring help to make it possible. The cost of cremation and the loss of Leesa’s contributions to household bills have created new challenges for Holly.

Any support you can offer would mean so much to Holly as she navigates this heartbreaking loss and the changes ahead. Your kindness will help her honor Leesa’s memory, manage immediate expenses, and adjust to life without her beloved partner. Thank you for considering a donation and for being part of a caring community.
