Tara Kojsza needs our help.

Hi Friends, Family, and Supporters of Lori Zepponi and Tara Kojsza.

My name is Janeen Damiano Granville. Michelle McColligan and I decided to start a fundraiser for our dear friend Tara. Tara is like family to us both.

Tara’s beloved Mother, Lori Zepponi, was laid to rest on November 17, 2021. 

Together, Tara and Lori cared for Lori’s brother, Richard. Tara will now be her uncle Richard’s sole caretaker. 

Just like her beautiful mother, Tara is one of the kindest people you will ever meet and the first person to offer help when someone is in need, as evident by the numerous fundraising events she held at Jessee’s Place Ice Cream over the last thirteen years.

Tara is an amazing aunt to her brother Ryan’s children and one of the strongest people we know. The journey she is on right now is not an easy one, taking a toll on her physically, emotionally and financially. 

Our goal is to make her current situation a little more manageable by helping to defray the funeral costs, Day-to-day expenses and caring for her Uncle Rich.  Additionally, Tara was unable to work while she sat by her Mother’s side during her illness.  

Please join us in letting Tara know she is loved and cared for.  She has always been there for her family and friends, and never had the need to know someone personally in order to help them. (Like mother, like daughter )

Thank you for your consideration and support. We know it will mean the world to Tara.

We humbly ask that you help us continue to carry on Lori’s legacy by loving without judgement, as that is exactly how Lori loved.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts and God bless.

Janeen and Michelle
