Dear friends and kind-hearted community,

On December 23rd, Elizabeth Riley tragically lost her 34-year-old son. His passing was sudden and unexpected, following a misdiagnosis when he sought medical care. This heartbreaking loss has left Elizabeth, a devoted mother and beloved special education teacher at Snohomish High School, navigating an unimaginable tragedy.

Elizabeth has always been a source of strength and support for her students, colleagues, and community. She is not one to ask for help, but during this difficult time, we want to ease the financial burden of funeral expenses and the many unexpected costs that come with such a loss.

We invite you to come together to support Elizabeth as she honors her son’s memory. Any contribution, no matter the size, will make a meaningful difference and provide some relief during this painful time.

If you are unable to donate, please consider sharing this fundraiser to help spread the word and offer your thoughts and prayers for Elizabeth and her family.

Thank you for your kindness, compassion, and support. It means more than words can

express.

Amy Joynt
