Jeanie, my cousin, has always been someone who gives back to her community. Together with Dennis, she spent years traveling across Alaska, filming and sharing the stories of Indigenous People and families. Their work has helped countless communities connect, learn, and preserve their heritage. Now, Jeanie is facing a difficult time after losing Dennis. She is carrying the weight of funeral expenses, the cost of a headstone, and medical bills that have added up.

Jeanie and Dennis chose a life of service, often putting the needs of others before their own. Their dedication has touched many lives, and now Jeanie needs a little help from those who care about her and the work they’ve done. The funds raised will go directly toward Dennis’s burial, a headstone to honor his memory, and covering the medical bills that remain.

Please consider supporting Jeanie as she navigates this loss. Your kindness will help her honor Dennis’s legacy and find hope in the support of her community. Every contribution, no matter the size, will make a meaningful difference.
