Support Kristie's Family in Their Time of Need

Our hearts are heavy as we share the tragic news of the loss of our dear friend and colleague, Kristie Thibodeaux.

Kristie was a cherished member of our community, bringing joy, warmth, and unforgettable experiences to countless visitors in the French Quarter. Known for her incredible passion and kindness, Kristie was loved not only by her coworkers but also by the staff of all the venues she frequented and the many guests she guided through the French Quarter of New Orleans.

Kristie was a great friend, fellow industry worker, and a highly regarded tour guide. She was tragically taken from us far too soon, and her absence leaves a profound void in our hearts and our community. In this time of immense grief, we are coming together to support Kristie's family as they navigate the difficult days ahead. We are raising funds to help cover the costs associated with her funeral and other expenses during this challenging period.

To honor Kristie's memory and celebrate her life, we will be hosting a fundraiser at High Grace on Sunday, July 7th, from 4 pm to 8 pm. High Grace, a venue Kristie cherished, has generously offered to donate all proceeds from the event, including bartender tips, to her family. At 8 pm, we will "crawl" Kristie's tour route back to Coyote Ugly, where all of her tours began, as a tribute to her incredible impact on our community and the many lives she touched.

We invite everyone to join us at the fundraiser and contribute to this GoFundMe campaign. Your donations, no matter the amount, will make a significant difference in helping Kristie's family during this painful time. We deeply appreciate the outpouring of love and support from our community and beyond.

Let us come together to remember Kristie for her joy and dedication to our lives and to ensure her family has the support they need.

Thank you for your generosity and kindness.
