Raquel’s world was turned upside down this past weekend when her beloved daughter Ava tragically passed away in a car accident. Ava was a spitfire—full of energy, spirit, and a zest for life that made every moment brighter. She was very much loved by her family, and her loss has left an unimaginable void in Raquel’s family and community. As friends, we are heartbroken for Raquel and Andy and want to surround them with love and support during this incredibly difficult time.

All funds raised through this campaign will go directly toward Ava’s funeral expenses and a celebration of her life. We want to help Raquel and Andy honor Ava’s memory in a way that reflects the love, joy, and vibrant spirit she brought to so many. Covering these costs will allow them to focus on healing and remembering Ava, rather than worrying about financial burdens.

Please consider supporting Raquel and Andy as they navigate this painful journey. Your generosity will help ensure Ava has a beautiful celebration of life, and any contribution, no matter the size, will make a meaningful difference. Thank you for your kindness, compassion, and for keeping Ava and her family in your thoughts.
