<div>On January 24, 2026, Alex Jeffrey Pretti, a Minneapolis resident and American citizen was executed on the streets of Minneapolis by ICE agents.

<div>This fundraiser is intended to support the loved ones he leaves behind with immediate and ongoing needs. Because details are still unfolding, and to ensure the money goes to the right person, funds will not be distributed until we can verify next-of-kin and identify the appropriate family representative to manage anything raised.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>If, for any reason, the funds cannot be transferred to Alex’s family, we will direct the total amount to the Immigrant Defense Project, a nonprofit that provides litigation, advocacy, and community-defense resources to help immigrants defend their rights and fight deportation.

<div>In May this year, our cherished friend, sister, mother, daughter, and cousin, Anna Innis was terminally diagnosed with an aggressive form of brain cancer Glioblastoma (GBL). This was completely unexpected as Anna had been living such a vibrant, full life until this occurred. The disease is devastating and progressing quickly. Our hearts are broken, as there is no viable treatment option for her condition. This news is truly impossible to comprehend - words cannot properly describe our deep sadness at what has occurred.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Anna has now moved from the comprehensive care of the Keck Medicine of USC hospital to a new hospice location near Huntington Beach – a home that is closer to friends, family, and her amazing 17-year-old son, Alex Van Der Meyden. She is receiving wonderful support at the HeyDay Senior (Assisted) Living at Fountain Valley with the kind, attentive care of the entire staff. This location has been incredibly uplifting and beneficial for Anna but is exceedingly costly – beyond what her health benefits can provide – given that she requires 24/7 support.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Anna has lived her life to the fullest, surrounded by so many bright, talented, warm-hearted people. She loved traveling and meeting new friends wherever she went. She relishes her heritage and has always been a strong proponent of Greek culture and community. Anna loves the arts and was writing several books that she intended to publish. Her smile literally lights up a room and her joyful, unabashed laugh is something you want to hear again and again. To have known Anna is to have loved her, and she has made an enormous impact on everyone she touched. Her zeal for life remains infectious.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Anna dedicated 28 years of her life to Air Canada as Key National Business Development &amp; Community Engagement Manager whereby she oversaw strategic community partnerships and directed communications and engagements across North America, Canada, and globally.  In 2019, Anna won Air Canada’s Global Sales Ambassador role. Within this role, she met the who’s who of politics and film including Presidents, Prime Ministers, and famous actors.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Anna also gave back to so many communities in need, actively serving on boards and supporting organizations such as Cast LA to address the global issue of human trafficking; Autism Speaks to support Autism awareness; and the Maple Business Council promoting cross-border trade. She was also always active with her son’s school and PTA. Given her work and impact, Anna was awarded the honor of being selected to the esteemed “20 in 2020” by the Consulate General of Canada in Los Angeles.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We now ask for your help to come together and support Anna at her most critical time – to help cover her immediate, costly medical needs but also to create a longer-term trust fund for her son, Alex. We are deeply grateful for anything that you feel you can contribute.

Our beloved Anna diagnosed with brain cancer.

Say hello to Liam. Liam is 3 years old. He loves Batman, rocket ships, and playing with his baby brother Connor. His favorite color is red! Liam had what his mom thought was bronchitis. She brought him to the doctor and two days later he was diagnosed with childhood leukemia. Liam was ripped from his home a week before Christmas and is stuck in a tiny hospital room 300 miles from home. This makes it tough for his grandma and family to visit him. Everything is strange and scary but he's being so brave and strong!<br /><br />Liam will receive chemo in his current hospital for 4-6 weeks. His mother is their only source of income and will be away from her job during this time to care for him before they are allowed back home to continue treatment there. Once there, she will try to balance her job with taking Liam to chemo. Before Liam can return home, costly changes also need to be made to his house (replacing all windows, grout, carpet, etc) so that he can live there safely without picking up secondary illnesses. Donations will help cover medical and other related expenses so that she can focus on Liam's survival without added financial fear. <br /><br />Liam is a gentle soul that is always concerned for others. He is wise beyond his years. In his first 24 hours he received a bone marrow biopsy, a port installed in his chest, and his first round of chemo to his spine. After all of this, he asked his mother if she was okay because he is worried about her. He says "Don't worry. I just need a good rest so I can go home." Liam is our sweetest boy. We are asking that you help him fight the most important fight of his life. If you can donate, no amount is too small. We are also requesting prayer, as God is the one who can carry this family through their biggest storm.

Connie Innis, M.D.
