What they care about

My small family matters most to me. I’m grateful for the values my late parents instilled in me. Everyone deserves love and kindness.

    For sharing a fundraiser.

    Please help Brandon Claressa is starting this fundraiser for her son, Brandon, who is in constant pain because all of his teeth need to be removed. Due to bad genetics, Brandon’s teeth are rotting, and this has been an ongoing struggle for years. Everyday things like eating have become difficult because most foods can break his teeth and make the pain even worse. This has been heartbreaking for their family to watch, especially knowing he is suffering and that the process to fix it cannot happen all at once. Brandon’s dentist can only pull up to four teeth per visit, which means he will need repeated dental appointments before this is finally behind him. The funds raised will help cover those return visits, along with pain medication, dentures, and the special foods Brandon can eat without worsening his pain. Getting dentures would not only help Brandon feel better physically, but would also give him a better chance of obtaining employment so he can help support his daughter and move forward with more confidence. Claressa’s family is living on one income, and there is very little left to put toward this long and costly dental process. Any donation, no matter the size, would mean so much and would help bring Brandon relief, healing, and hope.
    It’s hard to believe Liz has been gone for almost a year now. October is a hard month for us. Mom loved Halloween, you can tell by all the decorations and clothing she had. She loved passing candy out to the kids. She would make goodie bags for her grandchildren so they wouldn’t feel left out. Christmas was another holiday she loved. There are more decorations for Christmas than Halloween but by a slim margin. She loved having her family gather together at the house. Our family still hurts, and we’re reminding ourselves that she’d want us to be living our lives filled with love and happiness. Decorating for these holidays is still hard to do. We have our struggles. The job market hasn’t been too kind to our family. We’ve had to juggle what bills get paid one month and play catch up the next. I just wanted to give you an update since it’s been a while. Our family thanks you for your support and appreciates everyone. We love you!
