Lisa's Family

Lisa Palazzi was a beautiful, happy, generous, fun-spirited, loving woman who devoted herself to raising her two children and dedicating her time to working with people in crisis, especially women and children. She had a family who loved her dearly, and a huge circle of friends who cared deeply for her. She helped and inspired so many people. She always had a huge smile on her face, kind words to freely give out, and offered a helping hand to anyone who crossed her path.

Lisa died very suddenly in a car accident on July 31st  2015. Her family, friends, and everyone who knew her, is devastated and grieving for the sudden loss of such a beautiful person. Her family, her parents, brothers, and sisters, are concerned about her two children. They have to find a way to live without their mother, but we want for them all the things Lisa was working so hard and long for - security, success, college, and whatever else they may need. And we want to make sure we can take care of them in the way Lisa would've wanted. Her young son, who she was very close to, is struggling to deal with the loss. He also has some special medical and educational needs that require ongoing resources. We know we cannot fill Lisa's shoes - we are amazed at how she handled all this on her own - but we want to make sure this little boy who is grieving so badly for his mom, gets everything he needs, now and in the future. We are all going to rally together and do whatever we need to do to help her daughter and son in any way we can. 
Many wonderful friends have asked where and how they could donate and help, so we set up this page. We want to thank everybody who has taken the time to send love,  support, and kind comforting words and wishes.
