Dear friends and family,

As many of you know, my beloved husband, Michael Mercier, passed away on January 1, 2025. My world has been turned upside down, and I am still trying to process this immense loss. In addition to the emotional toll, his passing has created a significant financial hardship for me. I didn't know how to ask for help in the beginning because I thought I could carry on like normal. Reality hit me real hard. I need help just for this brief moment.

Since his death, grieving has made it nearly impossible for me to maintain a consistent work schedule. With the sudden loss of his income, I am struggling to cover day-to-day living expenses and other bills. I have always been a private person, and it is humbling to have to ask for help, but I have been let down in the past. Still, I am reaching out because I have nowhere else to turn.

I have set up this fundraiser to help cover immediate costs. Every donation, no matter the size, will provide a vital lifeline as I focus on healing and rebuilding our lives. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your kindness and support during this incredibly difficult time.
