A Sudden Loss: Helping Sophie and Jana

Hello, my name is Desiree, and I am starting this GoFundMe for Sophie and her mother, Jana, after the sudden and very unexpected passing of Sophie's dad, Mark Brennan. Sophie is an incredibly loved, funny, sassy, beautiful girl who was the absolute true love of her father.

Sometime in the early hours of November 2, 2024 Mark passed away after a text exchange between Jana and himself - they were sharing pictures and videos of Sophie as a baby and his last message to her was "I miss her alot" (Mark was about to fly out to a job in the Yukon). Mark was a loving father to his precious daughter, Sophie. Their bond was undeniable, filled with laughter, love, and countless cherished moments.

Jana, a dedicated and hardworking single mother, has always prioritized Sophie's well-being. Together, they’ve faced life’s challenges with strength and resilience. However, this sudden loss has left them facing an uncertain future.

Mark’s absence has created a significant financial burden. The child support he provided was crucial for covering essential expenses like food, rent, daycare, and activities. Without this support, Jana will be struggling to make ends meet.

The Goal:

Our goal is to raise $24,000 to help Jana and Sophie during this difficult time. These funds will be used to cover the next few months immediate needs, such as rent, groceries, and childcare expenses. Additionally, we hope to establish a small savings fund for Sophie’s future education and well-being.

How You Can Help:

Your generous donation, no matter the size, will make a tangible difference in Sophie’s life. By contributing to this fundraiser, you’re not only providing financial support but also offering hope and compassion.

Let’s come together as a community to support Jana and Sophie during this challenging period. Your kindness and generosity will be forever appreciated.
