Honoring Leonora Bright: Support for partner and family

Hello to our social media family. This post is written on behalf of myself, Teddy Trousil-O'Neill and my partner Grace (Hannah Grace Bright). Our hearts are heavy with a grief that words can barely hold with the sudden passing of Grace's eldest daughter Leo. It has left behind a silence too profound to fathom.

Darwyn, her partner now stands at the helm alone. With one-year-old baby Anton and the responsibility of a bright-eyed seven-year-old girl, he faces the daunting task of rebuilding his life that shattered in an instant. At this time in his grief, he is tasked at finding a new job that is more in line with his kid's lives. He also needs to find more manageable housing accommodations asap.

Our family, united in love but fragmented by financial constraints, reaches out to you all. Our hands and hearts may be trembling, but we're hopeful. In this moment of raw vulnerability, we ask not just for help, but for a shared belief in the power of unity. Any support you can offer, no matter how small, will be a lifeline to this beautiful family.

As we navigate this sea of sorrow, we hold onto the memories that shine like stars in the dark—a reminder of Leo’s radiant, vibrant spirit. Her laughter, her smile…her attitude, will always remain in our hearts. Although she is gone, it's our mission to show baby Anton how proud she was of him and how much she loved him as he grows. Leo had big dreams for Anton. Your support helps us carry those dreams forward, ensuring that her vision for his future shines bright, even in her absence.

Please share this message, and let the power of our collective compassion be the beacon that guides this family to safer shores.

From the bottom of our broken hearts,

Thank you.
