Memorial Fund for Destiny Leinfus

Donation protected
Hi, This is Wendy Gavaris and Jeff McGown. Destiny's Aunt and Uncle.
As we write this, thinking how unbelievable it is to have lost our sweet girl so tragically. After an unspeakable event, we are raising funds to assist our brother's family, Joshua, Tiffany and their youngest daughter, as they navigate a world without their beloved daughter. The costs of funeral and memorial services and changing homes after this tragedy rapidly increase. Our goal is to ease the burden on the family by allowing them the space and time to grieve without worrying about sufficient funds to lay their daughter to rest and grieve properly. All donations will go directly to the Leinfus family.

Destiny left an impression on everyone she met - at 20 years old, her bright smile and loving, kind heart made her an absolute joy to be around. She was born and raised in Mastic Beach, NY - grew up in the church with her grandparents, was getting ready for her first semester of college, and acted and sang in local theater alongside her baby sister. She had big plans! Des was loved by many who are mourning her loss, including her family, friends, and more. She was a bright, genuine soul, the most incredible friend and family member and will be missed so dearly.

We ask for your help, kindness, and support in any way possible. No matter how small or big, all donations are immensely appreciated. Even just sharing this link would be deeply appreciated.
Thank you in advance for your support.
Please share your love, thoughts, and memories for the family.

Always in our Hearts
In God's Eternal Embrace
Our heartbroken Family
The Leinfus, McGown and Gavaris Families
