Help Kat’s family after the loss of their Mother
Donation protected
My name is Kat Baptista. My mother, Lynne Baptista unexpectedly passed on July 19th while vacationing in Arizona. It was very sudden.
My father, Skip Baptista is currently in a Memory Care unit in Alexandria, VA, with the diagnosis of Alzheimer’s. He did not take the news of his beloved spouse’s passing well whatsoever.
I am currently living in Chicago, IL. I am well established out here, and moving back home simply isn’t an option for me at this time. I work in the food service industry, and while I am blessed to have a flexible schedule, I do not make quite enough to afford the ability to travel back and forth from Chicago to Virginia, especially if I have to take time off work when I travel.
I am creating this fund for the following reasons:
- I would like the ability to be there to help advise my Brother through tough decisions through this emotional time
- I would like to spend as much time with my father and help him process his grief alongside his child (me)
- I would like to be able to afford airfare while still being able to maintain regular bill payments
- I would like to be available last minute whenever I am called upon by my family members
- There are some expenses for things in my mother’s house which I would like to take care of
If you don’t feel comfortable with GoFundMe, you can donate to Venmo.

Please write ‘Lynne’ as the memo, so it doesn’t get lost among transactions.
Thank you for reading, and if you knew my mother, I would love to see any kind memories in the comments.
Any unused funds will go directly toward the expenses for my father’s continued Memory Care Unit Care.
