Vanessa Grace was a 12-year-old girl who was full of life and love.

She radiated joy! She was a person who made you feel better after you had an encounter with her.

After being born with hydrocephalus, Vanessa lived a joyful life spreading happiness wherever she went, even throughout twelve major surgeries and numerous other hospital stays. Despite this and other obstacles, she truly lived life to the full. Her brave fight ended on Monday, Feb. 21, 2022.

Her family wants to continue spreading joy and happiness in her absence in the form of a boundless playground— a playground accessible to all children, no matter their abilities.

Vanessa received therapy for 11 years at Kids Abilities in Hugo, Minnesota; what better place to build her playground!

Although a “go fund me” is not an ideal way to collect electronic donations, it is the easiest.

Thank you in advance for helping us continue Vanessa’s legacy of love through your donation.
