Support for Blank Family in the Wake of Tragedy

Donation protected
In the heart of a cold February night, our beloved Catherine "Cathy" Blank faced an unimaginable tragedy that has left our family in profound grief. Cathy, a vibrant soul known for her kindness, love for animals, and radiant smile, tragically lost her life under harrowing circumstances. Diagnosed with schizophrenia, Cathy ventured into a snowstorm without a jacket or shoes, seeking help but found none. Her journey ended tragically on Valentine's Day, leaving behind a devastated family and a 15-year-old daughter.


Cathy's untimely departure has left an indelible mark on our hearts and lives. Our father, a pillar of strength and love, along with our mother and Cathy's daughter, are grappling with a void that can never be filled. The circumstances of Cathy's passing — from the lack of intervention that could have possibly saved her to the inhumanity she faced in her final hours — have compounded our sorrow with frustration and disbelief.

In this dark time, we turn to you, our community, for support. We are setting up this GoFundMe to cover the funeral expenses and other unforeseen financial burdens our family faces as we navigate this tragedy. The funds raised will also support Cathy's daughter, ensuring she has the resources she needs during this tumultuous time.

Your donation, no matter the size, will bring a glimmer of light to our family in this period of darkness. It will help alleviate the financial stress and allow us to focus on healing and remembering Cathy for the nice person she was.

Even if you are unable to contribute financially, sharing this campaign on your social media platforms is an invaluable act of support. Spreading the word increases the reach of our plea, bringing more helping hands into our circle of support.

We understand that there are many worthy causes asking for your support. Please know that your contribution to our family during this devastating time means the world to us. We are immensely grateful for any support you can provide, whether it's a donation or sharing this campaign with others.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for taking the time to read our story and for any support you can offer. Together, we can help the Blank family find a way forward in the wake of this unimaginable loss.

With deepest gratitude,
The Blank Family
