Help Leslie's Children and Injured Fiancée

We are heartbroken to share that Leslie, a devoted single mother of five, was tragically struck and killed by a car while walking on the sidewalk in Georgia. She was attending her niece’s wedding. Leslie was on a stroll with her fiancée, with whom she had plans to marry this December. Leslie’s children were her entire life. She gathered many over the years into her home as if they were her own, including her fiancé Steve’s five children. Leslie’s warmth and love touched everyone she met, leaving a profound void in her family and the community.

We are raising funds to transport Leslie's body back to Salt Lake City for a proper memorial, as well as to cover her funeral expenses. Additionally, her fiancée sustained serious injuries and is facing mounting medical bills. Jason Schwendiman, Leslie's oldest son, will oversee the disbursement of the funds for the family.

Your contributions will help support Steve’s medical expenses as well as honor Leslie’s memory to provide vital financial support for her children during a very tender and difficult time in their lives. Thank you for your kindness and support as we navigate this tragic loss.
