I'm organizing this fundraiser to support my daughter, Averi, and her three young children after the unimaginable and life‑altering loss of her husband and their father, Anthony. The children’s father passed away suddenly, leaving Averi to navigate overwhelming grief while also caring for her babies and managing the practical responsibilities that come with such a devastating change. Overnight, she became the sole parent and provider for her household.

In the immediate aftermath of this tragedy, Averi was forced to move suddenly with the children. She had to leave nearly everything behind, taking only what she could carry. This has left her starting over in every sense — emotionally, financially, and physically. Averi is a devoted mother who has always worked hard to support her family. However, due to the extreme emotional toll of this loss — combined with the medications she has been prescribed to stabilize her mental and emotional state — she is currently unable to work. With no income and three small children depending on her, the financial strain is overwhelming, especially with just barely getting through the holidays.

This fundraiser is meant to provide short‑term relief for basic living expenses, essential items for the children, and the breathing room Averi needs as she focuses on her mental health and helps her kids adjust to life without their father. Any contribution, no matter the size, is deeply appreciated. Your kindness will help this family stay afloat as they rebuild their lives and begin the long process of healing. Thank you for your compassion, generosity, and support during this incredibly difficult time.
