Our dear friend and coworker, Julia, has recently suffered the unimaginable and unexpected loss of her spouse. During this difficult time, we want to surround Julia with love, support and compassion.

We are raising funds to help ease the financial burden that comes with such an unexpected loss - covering funeral expenses, household needs, childcare and giving Julia space to grieve without added stress.

At this time, we've been given the approval to create a GoFundMe to raise funds for Julia and her family. Through Costco's corporate teams, Costco is able to match up to $8,000 of funds raised.

We would like to keep this fundraiser within the Costco Organization, so please feel free to share with other employees.

If you are able, please consider contributing. Any amount, big or small, will make a meaningful difference. Just as importantly, keep Julia, her son Asher, and their family in your thoughts and prayers.

Let's come together as a community to support Julia and Asher through this heartbreaking time.

Lastly, please respect Julia during this time and limit any questions. If needed, please see Michele or Adam (AGM).
