Dear Friends, Family, and Community,

We are devastated to share that Sandy’s beloved partner and love of her life, Michael Baker passed away suddenly and unexpectedly. Michael was a fighter—having bravely battled cancer, Lyme disease, and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in the past. While the exact cause of this tragedy remains unclear, what is certain is the tremendous void he leaves behind, especially for his precious 11-year-old daughter, Bryn.

Sandy and Bryn were the center of his world, and his sudden passing has left them heartbroken and facing a challenging road ahead. Sandy now bears the emotional and financial burden of navigating life without her partner while trying to provide a sense of stability and love for Bryn during this incredibly difficult time.

We are reaching out to ask for your support to help Sandy and Bryn cover immediate expenses, including:

• Memorial costs

• Day-to-day living expenses as Sandy adjusts to this unexpected loss

• Educational and emotional support for Bryn

Every contribution, no matter the size, will make a difference in helping this family rebuild and find hope in the days ahead. If you are unable to contribute financially, we kindly ask that you share this page to help us reach others who may want to support Sandy and Bryn during this time.

Thank you for standing with Sandy and Bryn and for honoring Michael’s memory with your kindness and generosity. Your support means more than words can express.

With gratitude,

Liz McConnell
