Help Us Celebrate Levi's Life with Fireworks

Hello, my name is Tess Nelson, and I am writing to you today to let you know about the sudden and unexpected passing of our child, Levi (they/them) on Saturday, July 27th. They were fifteen and about to start high school. Unfortunately, we are still searching for answers at this time. The coroner's office was not open on the weekend to give us more information.

We will be meeting with a funeral home soon to settle on a date for Levi's funeral service on Tuesday, July 30th, and we're aiming for Saturday, August 3rd, or Sunday, August 4th. There are no words to describe the loss and confusion we feel by Levi’s passing and are struggling to find the funds to cover the unexpected cost of the service.

We're looking to raise $4,000 for the cost of our service, but it would mean the world to us if we could provide a service that honors our child in a way they deserve, with something they really loved: Fireworks. For $8,000 we'll be able to honor their memory with something special to them and us.

Please consider donating if you are able to do so, and to share wherever you're comfortable with. We are so grateful for every donation during this difficult time.

Levi was a wonderful kid, and we will miss them for the rest of our lives. They felt deeply, and loved everyone they cared about fiercely. They were an artist, a cat-lover, a baker, an archer, and so much more that there isn't enough time in the day to tell you everything we loved about them.

Thank you for reading and helping in whatever way you can.

—Tess and Mike
