Hello, my name is Ashley, and I am a close family friend and neighbor. Our families are like family to one another, and I am creating this GoFundMe on behalf of Julianna, Karl, and Rachel during an incredibly difficult time. All funds raised will go directly to the family.

On June 13, their family experienced an unimaginable and sudden loss when their beautiful daughter, Elizabeth, passed away unexpectedly just one week before her 7th birthday.

Elizabeth was smart, clever, and a true ray of sunshine. Her bright smile, infectious laughter, and kind heart touched everyone who knew her. She brought joy wherever she went and had a special way of making people smile. Whether she was learning something new, making others laugh, spending time with her older sister, or simply being her wonderful self, Elizabeth made the world a brighter place.

As they navigate the overwhelming grief of losing their daughter and sister, they are facing many unexpected expenses and challenges. No family is ever prepared for a tragedy like this, and I am reaching out on their behalf for help as they try to move forward one day at a time.

Funds raised will help ease the financial burden of funeral expenses, household costs, meals, and other unexpected expenses that come with such a devastating loss. As a self-employed parent, any time away from work directly impacts the family's income.

Your support will help provide financial stability and allow them the space they need to grieve without the added pressure of immediate financial concerns.

If you are able, please consider making a donation. No amount is too small, and every contribution is deeply appreciated. If you cannot donate, sharing this fundraiser and keeping Julianna, Karl, Rachel, and all who loved Elizabeth in your thoughts and prayers is another meaningful way to help during this difficult time.

For those who know the family personally and would prefer to support them directly, please feel free to reach out to me for information on how to do so.

Thank you for your kindness, support, prayers, and for helping us honor Elizabeth's memory.
