Please help Novalee's family as they grieve the loss of her.

Novalee and her siblings are like nieces and nephews to me. Her family was there for me in my time of need without hesitation. We've been family ever since Now, as they cope with this awful tragedy, I hope we can rally behind them and lighten their load a bit.

Novalee was airlifted from Bakersfield to UCLA a few days ago after collapsing at school. It was there they diagnosed her with a brain aneurysm .Unfortunately, her heart was damaged from the CPR she was given, and she didn't survive. Her parents have 5 small children to support, and as if this isn't enough tragedy, her father is currently recovering from a terrible accident and is unable to work at this time, which means they have one income and many mouths to feed and hearts to heal. Please help me in lightening their load a little by raising money for expenses. I will be depositing the donations into a savings account that is seperate from the o e i save my personal funds in, and when fundraising is complete I will withdrawl the funds and deliver them to family to help them with whatever they need.

Novalee loved Lilo and Stitch, she loved pink and purple, and painting her nails. She was a perfect little angel and will be deeply missed. The beneficiary is Carolyn Garcia who's Novalees mother.
