Hello, my name is SteviRae Gross.

I am asking for assistance in raising money to honor my dad's wishes to have some of his ashes spread in the beloved Black Hills in South Dakota. My dad, Steven, lived a full life with adventure and faith rooted in all his works. He was a brilliant artist, painting, crafting, sculpting, and cooking. He had an eye for doing things beautifully in his own way. I would love to be able to bring my daughter(4)to all the stops in our used-to-be home state.As papa and I had lived there 13 years,we made so many memories,i cherish deeply.He passed away April 25th, 2025, changing my whole world. He favorite guy, my neighbor, my friend, my rock, my dad. He passed away so sudden less then 2 months after diagnosed pancreatic cancer, shocking us all. It's been extremely hard , and I think honoring his wishes while getting to enjoy one of our most loved places would be a great end to this summer for us. Thank you for your time and consideration in helping me make this become a reality.

The cost of lodging in the black hills during the hight of tourist season isn't merciful. Well be hopefully seeing mt.rushmore,wind and jewl cave,reptile gardens,bear country usa,crazy horse,the gift shops,the taffy parlor,maybe some mining for gold??
