Ara's Fund - in Honor of Giselle White

Giselle Elliese White, age 24, died on December 22, 2020.

Born May 15, 1996 in Englewood, Colorado, she lived in Denver and was a champion of the underprivileged and underrepresented and a fierce fighter of injustice in all its forms. But most of all, she was Ara’s mom.  At 16 months, Ara was the source of her mother’s greatest joy.

Per Giselle’s free spirit and love of nature, her ashes will be planted with a willow tree in a place yet to be chosen by her family; a family who will feel her loss every moment for all earthly time but will do their best to live authentically and passionately to honor their beloved Giselle Elliese.

This fund will be managed by her family and will help provide for Ara.

“The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars…”  Jack Kerouac  (Giselle's favorite quote)
