For Our Beloved Brielle
Donation protected
My sister, Michelle, passed away after a long battle. The greatest gift she left behind is her beautiful daughter, Brielle, who is now age 5. Brielle was given a 2nd chance in life in 2020 when Michelle succumbed to her illness again and my brother Mike & sister-in-law Niv took full custody. They have raised her as their own providing her a life filled with peace, stability, security, love, joy & so much happiness. My niece is such a ray of sunshine. Mike & Niv are my hero & Brielle's savior.
Sadly, Brielle never knew her mother after her first couple years of life. Addiction and mental illness caused an environment where she too needed to be shielded and protected. Those that know anything about addiction know the heartbreaking pain my family has endured. As a community, I hope to raise funds to be put into a trust for Brielle’s future.
It's always hard to ask anyone for money, but I feel it my obligation to put my pride aside and create this go-fund-me for the benefit of my niece. The most wonderful piece of Michelle left on this earth is this precious little miracle, and for that we're eternally grateful.
Your consideration to donate is very much appreciated and will serve as a testament to the power of unity & compassion. Please share. Together we can make an impact.
❤️ WE GOT YOU BRIELLE ❤️
Thank you with all my heart,
