Hi everyone,

I'm reaching out today because someone very dear to me, Maggie Ruchalski, is currently facing an overwhelming series of tragedies. In August, she lost her mother, and while still navigating the deep grief and the exhausting administrative hurdles of her mother's estate, tragedy struck again. Just two weeks ago, her sister passed away.

Maggie has always been the first person to step up for others, and in the face of these losses, she has done everything possible to honor her family. The financial toll of managing her mother's affairs, combined with the sudden costs of her sister's funeral, has been devastating. To ensure her sister received a proper farewell, Maggie had to make the difficult choice to sell both her car and her phone just to cover the expenses.

She is now in a position where she is not only grieving two of the most important people in her life but is also without the basic tools—transportation and communication—that she needs to move forward and rebuild.

Why we are raising funds:

Our goal is to help Maggie get back on her feet by:

Reimbursing the funeral costs she covered out of pocket.

Getting her vehicle back so she has reliable transportation.

Getting her a new phone so she can stay connected to family and friends.

No amount is too small. If you aren't able to donate, please consider sharing this page. Your kindness, prayers, and support mean the world to us during this incredibly dark time.

Thank you for helping us show Maggie that she doesn't have to carry this burden alone.
