Supporting a Sister in Her Time of Deepest Loss

One of our dear sorority sisters is facing an unimaginable tragedy — the sudden and heartbreaking loss of her mother, whose life was tragically taken by homicide.

No one is ever prepared for this kind of pain. Her family is devastated, left to grieve in the wake of a senseless act of violence.

We’re reaching out to our community — friends, family, sisters, and kind-hearted strangers — to ask for support. Any contribution, no matter the amount, will go directly toward funeral and memorial expenses. Your help will ease the financial burden so the family can focus on honoring their mother’s memory and beginning the long, difficult road to healing.

Please consider donating, sharing, or simply keeping this family in your thoughts. Every bit of love and support means more than words can express.

💜 Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

A Heartfelt Thank You

Thank you to everyone who showed up today to help at Pizza Italia — your support truly means the world.

And to the many people from the broader community who came out, lent a hand, or simply stood in solidarity — thank you. Your kindness reminds us of the power of unity and the goodness that exists even in the darkest moments.

From the bottom of our hearts — thank you.

A Tragic Loss That Echoes Far and Wide

The shock of this tragedy has rippled across the country — a sudden, freak accident that may have been preventable. A young woman, simply out for a walk in the park — a place we all associate with peace and safety — lost her life in an instant.

She leaves behind two children. The weight of that loss is unimaginable.

This park could be anywhere. Many of us have walked similar paths without a second thought. That’s what makes this so haunting — and why action must be taken to ensure something like this never happens again.

My heart is with her family, her children, and everyone affected. May we honor her memory by demanding safer public spaces and holding those responsible accountable.

Rest in peace.
You deserved so much more.

A Heartfelt Request for Support

Our dear friends are enduring the unimaginable — the sudden loss of their beloved 15-year-old son, Owen. He was the light of their lives: joyful, kind, and deeply loved by everyone who knew him. Their world has been turned upside down.

This beautiful family has always poured love into those around them. Now, as they face this heartbreaking moment, they’re also dealing with unexpected financial burdens that no family should ever have to worry about while grieving.

If you’re able, any contribution — big or small — would be an incredible help. And if you can’t give right now, please consider sharing this message. Your support, love, and prayers mean more than words can say.

❤️ Every act of kindness helps.
🙏 Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
