Wish submitted by:

Lisa is a loving mother whose only daughter was tragically taken from her during a senseless mass shooting. Her daughter meant the world to her, and they shared a beautiful bond, especially through their love of doing karaoke together and simply enjoying each other’s company. Lisa is also a devoted grandmother who loves spending time with her three grandchildren, taking them to the park and creating special memories. She is now trying to cope with the unimaginable loss of her only child while also being there for her grandchildren as they grieve the loss of their mother. Despite the tremendous heartbreak her family is experiencing, Lisa continues to surround her grandchildren with love, strength, and support as they navigate this painful new reality together.

Lisa needs help with the repast for her daughter, who was heartbreakingly taken from them in a mass shooting. This gathering is so important for honoring her daughter’s memory and providing a space for family and friends to come together, share stories, and support one another through their grief. As Lisa deals with her own pain, she’s also trying to be strong for her three young grandchildren, who are struggling to understand the sudden loss of their mother. The added financial stress of funeral costs makes everything even harder. Any assistance with the repast would mean the world to Lisa and her family, allowing them to focus on healing and securing comfort in one another’s presence during this unimaginably tough time.
