On December 23, 2016 a tragedy struck a family that has experienced so many life challenges, from the long suffering and death of Rachael and Michael's dad due to cancer in December of  2015, to the ongoing mental health condition that their Mom was diagnosed with and tried to manage for the last 18 years. Michael will now have  to bear the sorrow of his sister's death and burial.

Rachael just graduated as a nurse with marks at the top of her class. She spent her last hours on this earth caring for her mother who has suffered from a diagnosed mental health condition namely bipolar.  The last moments of her life  were filled with compassion and care. Her mother's illness was something that she understood and accepted. She was destined to dedicate the rest of her life  as a nurse no matter how difficult the challenges would be. We are reaching out for assistance for her surviving brother who stumbled upon the scene and now will have to bury his only sibling.

Michael will have a long and very tough journey ahead of him. We are asking for assistance to cover funeral costs and to aid in Michaels recovery and get him the support and help he needs in this traumatic time.
 
This effort will be spearheaded by the cousins of Rachael and Michael directly and have their best interests at heart. We are thankful for any support you may be able to provide.

Sincerely,
Glen Dobranski
On behalf of first cousins of Rachael Longridge.
