Rachael is facing unthinkable loss

Rachael Smith is one of the hardest-working, open-hearted, and strong-willed individuals I've ever met. Since I met her almost a decade ago, her dad was her #1, and she would do anything for him. After battling medical issues since 2019, he tragically passed away on Friday, October 17th, 2025. Five days later, her grandpa passed away on 10/22/2025.

During this unimaginable time, Rachael's life has been flipped upside down, and she needs help.

She is now facing her father's end-of-life bills, travel from Florida to Texas for her father's service, and travel to Illinois for her grandpa's service, in the same week, as well as her own monthly bills while taking bereavement leave.

Much like her dad, she is one of the hardest-working people I've ever known. She always shows up for the people she cares about, and she doesn't let anything get in her way.

She is not one to ask for help, let alone to accept money. Any contribution you make is beyond appreciated.

These funds will be used to pay for her travel, her father’s cremation, and to cover her loss of work during this time.

She has faced so much adversity in her life while taking it in stride, and I want to show her people care and that she is not alone. Please consider contributing or sharing.

Thank you so much.
