Supporting Chrissie Nelson After Tragic Loss

Donation protected
Let's help our friend, Chrissie Nelson, whose life was unexpectedly and forever altered by the tragic loss of her husband, Donnie Nelson. She now faces an overwhelming journey of grief and financial uncertainty.

We have created this GoFundMe campaign to help ease her financial burden and allow her the time and space needed to grieve and start the healing process.

  • On Thursday, May 30, her husband, Donnie, didn't come home after leaving the house in the morning.
  • Friends and family organized search parties in the mountains on Friday, May 31 and Saturday, June 1 in Western Albany County and Eastern Carbon County.
  • Late Saturday, June 1, Carbon County Sheriff Department verified his vehicle was located.
  • On Sunday, June 2, family received news that Donnie was found deceased in his favorite hunting ground.

Donnie was Chrissie's rock and the backbone of their family. As you can imagine, this is also an unimaginable loss for their children, Nicole, Dakota, Dalton and Zach.

Chrissie is one of the most kind-hearted and resilient people we know. She has always been there for others, offering support and love. Now it's our turn to be there for her. This sudden loss has left her with the daunting task of managing their financial hardship alone, as well as facing the overwhelming responsibility of shutting down Donnie's construction business.

All funds raised go directly to her to help with the following:

  • Covering Immediate Expenses: Including funeral costs, living expenses, and legal fees related to probate.
  • Debt Relief: Helping to manage debt left behind, allowing Chrissie to focus on healing without the added stress of financial worries.
  • Business Closure Support: Providing the necessary resources to manage and navigate the shutdown of Donnie's business.

Chrissie is facing an incredibly tough road ahead, but with our collective support, we can help lighten her load and show her that she is not alone. Let's come together as a community to lift up our friend during this heartbreaking time.

Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and support.
