Support for Tracey E. Gross: Hit-and-Run Victim

Dear Friends, Family, and Supporters,

It is with heavy hearts that we reach out to you today to share the devastating news of the untimely passing of our beloved Tracey E. Gross. Tracey, a devoted mother of two and a dedicated postal carrier, was tragically killed in a hit-and-run accident on Saint Patrick's Day 2024 while riding her bicycle in Oceanside.

The details surrounding Tracey's passing are nothing short of heartbreaking. She was struck by a car that callously fled the scene, leaving her critically injured and ultimately declared brain dead. Despite the heroic efforts of medical professionals, Tracey's injuries were too severe to overcome. As an organ donor, Tracey's legacy lives on through the selfless act of giving the gift of life to others in need.

The perpetrator responsible for this senseless act has yet to be apprehended. Authorities believe the driver resides in close proximity to where the collision occurred, and they are urging the public's assistance in locating both the individual and the vehicle—a silver 2013 or 2015 Kia Optima with identifiable damage to its right front bumper and headlight.

Tracey was not just a statistic; she was a vibrant soul who touched the lives of many. Described as an amazing woman, a hero, and a loving mother, Tracey's presence will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her. Her mother, Kim Booth, speaks of Tracey's strength, bravery, and unwavering love for her family and faith.

In the wake of this tragedy, we are left grappling with grief, anger, and a profound sense of injustice. As we mourn the loss of Tracey, we are also faced with the daunting task of navigating the financial implications of her passing. Funeral expenses, legal fees, and ongoing support for Tracey's family are just a few of the challenges they now confront.

This GoFundMe campaign has been established with the dual purpose of seeking justice for Tracey and providing tangible support for her grieving family during this unimaginably difficult time. We refuse to let Tracey's memory fade into the abyss of anonymity. Together, we will honor her legacy and advocate for accountability.

Every contribution, no matter the size, is a testament to the love and compassion that Tracey inspired in others.

As we embark on this journey towards justice and healing, we ask for your unwavering support and generosity. Please consider donating, sharing this campaign with your networks, and keeping Tracey's family in your thoughts and prayers.
