Help us help others in honor of Clare Raiguel

The world lost a light on September 23rd, 2022 with the passing of Clare Marie Raiguel at the very young age of just 23 years old. Those who met Clare know how kind, caring, special, and talented she was. Clare had a love for the arts, in many forms. She began with dance across many genres, shifting focus in her teen years towards music, songwriting, performing on multiple instruments. Clare was also a gifted artist whose life challenges were often conveyed through her works. Like many these days, Clare had her emotional and physical challenges, but was always putting on a smiling face. She was intent on helping others by teaching children so many of the things she loved. Clare was so patient and reassuring to youngsters, including those with special needs, with her final position being a mental health specialist for young and adolescent girls. We are so heartened by all of the touching stories from those who met Clare, even if just briefly.

With her passing, many have asked what they can do. Our desire is to create a lasting legacy for Clare via the newly created Clarevoyant Foundation. The general mission of The Clarevoyant Foundation is planned to provide charitable funding via scholarships, grants, and other contributions as a way for Clare to continue helping others. A particular focus will be on individuals and/or organizations which identify needs where there is raw or unrefined arts talent, situations where the potential recipients may not yet have figured out their paths in life, could be impacted by emotional or mental health issues and resulting support could make a difference in their lives and/or those around them. Big picture, the foundation seeks to help these talented children and young adults make a positive difference in the world via kindness and expression, regardless of the struggles and challenges facing them.

For those looking to make a significant contribution to The Clarevoyant Foundation, we have an avenue that should meet tax deductibility standards (subject to individual accounting situations) and I’m happy to provide those details, though it will require a little more process and paperwork. For simplicity and convenience, we thought this GoFundMe option, with plans to roll these funds into the Foundation, would be a preferred path for many. Thank you in advance for any support you are willing to provide!

With everything being so fresh, the full scope of the foundation is frankly a living charter as we look for avenues to cement Clare’s legacy to positively impact as many in need as we can. Over the coming weeks and months, there are plans to continue developing a crisper focus, for which we plan to convey and update everyone as it evolves.
