On September 15th, Vanessa was tragically struck and killed by a driver, leaving behind her loving husband and three children. Vanessa was a devoted wife to Tim Wheyland, an incredible mother to Maryann, Isaiah. and Eivan, and a cherished friend whose love and presence touched so many people. Her family was her entire world, and this devastating loss has left everyone who loved her heartbroken.

In the midst of this sudden and unimaginable loss, the community is being asked to surround Vanessa's husband and children with love and support. Donations will help cover expenses, immediate household needs, and the ongoing care and support of Vanessa's three children as the family begins navigating life without her.

Because these needs will continue beyond the first days of grief, recurring donations can provide steady support for Vanessa's children over time. One-time gifts are also deeply appreciated and will help ease some of the immediate financial burden on the family.

No amount is too small. If you are unable to donate, please share this fundraiser and keep Vanessa's husband, children, and loved ones in your thoughts and prayers. Vanessa was deeply loved, and she will be deeply missed.
