We are setting up this donation platform to help our dear friend Valerie honor her father by placing a headstone at his gravesite in Illinois. All funds raised will go directly toward the creation of the headstone, any required shipping, and assisting Valerie with travel expenses so she can be there to place the marker herself.

We are asking friends and family to donate if you are able. Our goal is to have this completed by Valerie’s birthday in April, and any contribution—big or small—is deeply appreciated.

Valerie has always been someone who gives so much love and support to those around her. This is our chance to return that love and help her find some peace and healing during this meaningful process. Thank you all for your kindness and support.
