It is with great sadness that this fund needs to be established for our dearest friend Danielle and her daughter Shailynn. As most of you may know Danielle lost her last living brother Thomas Alachoyan on January 4th. Tom struggled with severe mental illness and turned to addiction to combat it as so many do. Tom was the oldest of the three siblings. He was a kind soul, who loved his family and was loved by many. He was a funny trickster, always up to something, he loved to laugh and make people laugh! On January 28th, 2023 just 11 months prior she lost her brother George also to addiction. This happened after struggling for 3 years to even come to terms with the devastating fact that her mother had passed in July of 2020. The healing from that had barely even begun. Every last immediate family member that she can share a fond childhood memory with have all been taken from her within a 3 and a half year span. She has been seeking help to deal with her own mental health, finally going to grief counseling and staying as active as she can in her own recovery from addiction; which is a struggle daily. She barely felt well enough to return to work on an intermittent basis in September. The time frame to that has not even expired and here she is AGAIN. With the triple dose of grief Its a miracle to me that she continues to wake up every day after all these losses. I have no doubt that three of them are up there carrying her through. As I’m sure you know the cost of a funeral for even one person can be extreme. No one can ever plan financially for the loss of 3 in such a short period of time. It cant be her burden to carry alone. This is where I am hoping we can all come together and help. She has a long and terrifyingly painful road ahead that can only be healed with time. It will be hard enough putting one step in front of the other just to do the mundane things that we all take for granted.

Thats where we can all come together to help her to afford the cost of services with the financial burden she has undergone over the past three years.

Please if you can help her financially to lay Tom to rest she would be forever grateful.
