Dear Friends & Family,
On 10/29/2023, Brianna Long, a former Paulding High School student, and a senior of Valdosta State University, tragically lost her life due to a senseless tragedy. The news of this heartbreaking event has left us all in shock, struggling to come to terms with the sudden loss of such a vibrant light who had such a bright future.
In this time of immense sorrow, we are launching this GoFundMe campaign to support Brianna's family. Our goal is to alleviate any financial stress they may face during this incredibly difficult period. No family should have to endure the pain of losing a loved one, especially their child, and the last thing they need to worry about is finances.
We kindly ask you to open your hearts and join us in making a difference. Let's come together as a community and show Brianna's family that they are not alone in their grief.

We are truly overwhelmed by the outpouring of love and generosity that has been shown to our family during this difficult time. Your acts of kindness not only provide us with immense comfort but also serve as a testament to the deep love and compassion each one of you had for Brianna.
In light of this incredible support, we have made the heartfelt decision to increase our fundraising goal. Our aim is not only to honor Brianna's memory and advocate for lives loss in similar situations, but also to establish future scholarships in her name. By doing so, we hope to keep her spirit, kindness, and character alive in the lives of others. Your contributions are not just helping us navigate through this challenging period, but they are also paving the way for a lasting legacy that will benefit future generations.
Most importantly, we want to express our deep gratitude for the prayers that have surrounded us. In the midst of this tragedy, we can feel the boundless love of Jesus moving through, sustaining us and providing strength. It is this love that keeps us going, and it is our unwavering goal to let His light shine through all of this.
