Help Us Remember Hannah with Love and Dignity
Donation protected
We suddenly and unexpectedly lost my beautiful younger sister, Hannah, the morning of March 19th, 2025. Hannah relapsed and every effort was made to save her, but she was taken from us. She was so much more than her struggles; she was a daughter, a sister, a friend. Hannah had a way with words, she was incredibly poetic. Her writing talents amazed us. She had such a kind, funny, and loving tender heart. She also loved all animals, especially her sweet kitty Chiara. We will love Hannah and miss her forever.
Addiction carries so much stigma, but my sister would have wanted people to know the truth—because addiction is a disease, not a moral failing. She fought hard, and despite the pain she endured, she still had hope. We want to share her story not only to honor her but to bring awareness and compassion to those still struggling.
Our family is devastated and unprepared for this loss. We are setting up this fundraiser to help cover the cremation, a bio urn tree, and memorial service expenses to honor her memory in a way that reflects the love she gave us and the love we will always have for her. Any support, whether financial or simply sharing her story, means more than we can express. . We don’t have a set date yet for her memorial service, but we will provide updates once plans are in place.
If you or someone you love is battling addiction, please know that you are not alone. There is help, and there is hope. We share Hannah's story so that others may find understanding and support.
Thank you for keeping our family in your thoughts during this painful time.
