Tanaia has been an important part of our chosen family for almost 2 decades. Even through her own most profound struggles, she was always there to lend a listening ear, a carefully chosen song, and whatever support she could provide to those she loved. Tanaia was an amazing person - a kind and soulful human being. She was a talented writer from a young age, and was finalizing the first draft of her novel. She had a lifelong love of nature, and had recently begun her dream career as an arborist.

On 12/17/23 her domestic partner took her life. Her family and all the people who love Tanaia are completely shattered.

We are trying to help her mother raise funds for Tanaia's burial. We will update with service details when they become available.

Any amount helps, and thank you for your support.
