Honoring the Life and Light of Kirstie Baldoza

It is with a heavy heart that we announce the unexpected passing of Kirstie Baldoza. Kirstie was a vibrant, one-of-a-kind, nurturing soul who brought warmth, humor, and light to everyone she met. She had a way of bringing out the best in people and it was evident in every room she walked into. It wasn’t just what she did — it was who she was. She was more than a beloved friend, sister, and daughter; Kirstie was a light that shined brightly in this world, and her impact will be forever felt.

Her passing was sudden and profoundly unfair. Kirstie became quickly ill from an undiagnosed condition that escalated overnight. Though her time was cut far too short, please find comfort in knowing she was surrounded by immense love, with her family and closest friends by her side. She left this world peacefully, free from pain, held by those who meant everything to her.

With the sudden passing of Kirstie we are organizing this fundraiser to support her family with the burden of her loss -- to help with the medical, funeral, and memorial expenses. She leaves behind her father Ray, mother Arlene, younger brother Christian, younger sister Kristine, and family dogs. As well as her partner Jimmy and her cherished dogs, Coco and Tala.

Thank you for helping us honor Kirstie, for remembering the beauty she brought into our lives, and for celebrating a life lived with such wholehearted spirit.

On behalf of the Baldoza family, this fundraiser is being organized by her family friend Anne, and her best friends Chelsea, Vi, and Christine — to give her the proper burial she deserves and to support any unforeseen circumstances.
