Help out the Harper Family During this Time of Sudden Loss

Dear Friends and Family,

You might have heard that Kristan Paolacci's dear mom (and my aunt), Jean Harper, tragically passed away in a sudden accident while on vacation in Hawaii. This has been an incredibly tough time for our family, and we’re reaching out to our OPTAVIA community for support.

Kristan and Aunt Jean -as we all affectionately called her—were on a trip of a lifetime to visit her daughter/ granddaughter Charleigh. Kristan’s OPTAVIA earnings funded this special trip, and it was a dream come true for all of them. Aunt Jean was such a big part of our community, losing 60lbs with us, loving the client support calls, and cheering Kristan on. She even joined us at the 2023 convention and many of us had the pleasure of meeting her at the 70s Dance Party.

Kristan had to pack up and fly home to Arizona yesterday without her mom. Since the accident was on hotel property, there are significant delays with bringing Aunt Jean home. It's just so heartbreaking!

In light of this, we have set up a GoFundMe campaign to help offset impending costs like flying Aunt Jean back home to Arizona, funeral costs, moving expenses and meals for the family, etc. If you feel compelled to contribute, your support would greatly ease the financial burden during this trying time. Every contribution, no matter how small, will make a difference and is deeply appreciated. We will keep you updated on the arrangements and how the funds are being used. Thank you for your kindness, and support, and please join at the Memorial Service, via zoom on Saturday, 9/7/24 at 4pm PST (see graphic below for details).

With heartfelt gratitude,

Jen Smith
