Help Nikki Through the Loss of Her Mother

Donation protected
Hello Friends and Community,

We are reaching out to you with heavy hearts to share the sudden and tragic news of the passing of Nikki's beloved mother, Susan Passarelli on July 15 2024.

As Nikki's best friend, I have seen her strength and resilience time and time again but with this great loss, she needs our collective support more than ever. She's facing the overwhelming financial burden of her mother's passing and can't handle it alone.

We are seeking to raise $20,000 to help Nikki cover the following expenses: organizing a meaningful celebration of life to honor and remember her mother's life, covering the costs of cremation services, handling legal matters and ensuring all affairs are in order, and managing the storage and moving of her mother’s belongings.

We understand that times are tough for everyone, but any amount you can contribute will make a significant difference. Nikki is facing this immense loss and financial burden alone, and your support will help lighten her load during this heartbreaking time.

From Nikki:

“My mom was my best friend, she never missed a dance recital or a performance. She always answered my calls and talked me through some of the hardest moments in my life. She had a magic about her and brought light into everything she did. She left everyone and everything a little better than before. She was an Olympic level horse back rider, a solo trip scuba driver to so many parts of the world, an incredible artist and the most kind and empathetic person I know. She had a sensitive heart and this world has a great hole in it now with her gone.

She had her struggles but she never stopped loving me or being there for me. With her passing and all the support I’ve received I can see the impact of her life on others and I see this loss reflecting like a puddle throughout the world. She was giving person and was an organ donor, I chose to honor her wishes and with her gifts she has saved the lives of 4 people. I will never be the same without her and am leaning on those who have offered their kind words and support. I know she is watching over me and is proud of the woman I’ve become. I love you mom, I carry you in all that I do. “

Every bit of support helps and your support is appreciated.

Thank you, Truly.
