Dupuis-Perez Family Support

We are gathering here to memorialize and rally to support the children and family of Lauren and Kamel. We are devastated to have lost them in a car accident in the afternoon of Tuesday, April 6th. We know they touched so many lives with their spirit for adventure, photography, their love for their children, travelling, and community. This tragic loss is incredibly sad for all of us and we send our love to you as you grieve the unimaginable. The brilliant energy and love that they infused into all of our lives is what motivates us now to continue their legacy of creating a safe, beautiful, and rich life for their children.

If you would like to support, we have set up a fund for the long term educational costs for Fae and Gabriel at St Joseph's School here in Seattle. This community was integral to Lauren and Kamel and is what they dreamed of for their children. All donations are tax deductible. Please keep your receipt and inquire with your employer to see if they match charitable contributions. St Joseph's Tax ID number: 91-1109787.

Otherwise, we ask for your support here in helping the Grandparents and Aunties arrange for all the needs of the children such as summer camps, housing, therapeutic support, swim lessons, and any of the things that will arise over the coming months and years.

We hope this page can be a place to share memories, send love, share photos and memories, and support each other. Please feel free to share this with any who knew and loved Kamel and Lauren. 

Love, 
Gene Dupuis, Janis Dupuis, Kamel Perez-Mon, Dora Ledesma, Regina Perez, Claire Jesse, Kathleen Ross, and Maris Jager-Grigalunas
