Donate Funeral Funds for Heather Cassels, 50

"A big part of wanting to become an Educational Assistant is her, and all the wonderful lessons she taught me. The joy I get from helping others." - Sloan, adult child to Heather.

Heather was more than my best friend's mom; she was my friend, too. On October 24th, Heather passed away, surrounded by love and family. Sloan will be assuming the responsibilities of paying for and organizing their mom's funeral and memorial, as well as taking care of her cats. As a disabled university student, this is no easy task. I am hoping that through this fundraiser we can at least relieve the financial burden and Sloan.

Sloan has taken time off from school to arrange the funeral and memorial. While EIA will provide some financial assistance, it is not likely be anywhere near enough. Help me in supporting Sloan and their family through this incredibly difficult time.

Not only is this fundraiser is to help Sloan pay for funeral costs, but it is also intended to help with vet bills for their mom's two elderly cats. On top of this all, Heather's 2 cats, Ruby and Brodie, are quite old and sick. Unfortunately, it is likely Ruby will need to be put down before long, a cost that has been quoted to be an additional 300-600 dollars.

Sloan has been my dear, dear friend for over a decade. They stood beside me in honour at my wedding and have support me through every crisis I have faced. They deserve so much support and love, and while I cannot afford to travel to Winnipeg, I would like to help them out in any possible way I can. Please donate and/or share around. Let's help Sloan through this ❤️
