Support Marissa After Howard's Tragic Loss

On February 12, 2025, we lost Howard Vincent Burkhalter, a beloved partner, friend, and source of strength to those who knew him. His passing has left an unimaginable void in the life of his loving partner, Marissa Angela, who is now facing this painful new reality without him.

With Howard’s passing, it is leaving Marissa with the overwhelming financial burden of everyday expenses—rent, utilities, groceries, and basic necessities—all while navigating deep grief.

No one should have to worry about financial survival in the midst of such heartbreaking loss. We are asking for support to help Marissa stay afloat for the next few months, giving her the time and space she needs to heal without the immediate stress of making ends meet alone.

Every donation—no matter the amount—will go directly toward helping Marissa with essential expenses during this difficult time. If you are unable to donate, we would greatly appreciate it if you could share this fundraiser with others who may be able to help.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your kindness, generosity, and support. Marissa and all who loved Howard deeply appreciate it more than words can express.
