Brooke Mendenhall, a beloved wife, mother, and friend from Wyoming, Minnesota, tragically passed away on Saturday. Her death has left her husband, Dan Mendenhall, and their daughter, Addison, grappling with a profound loss and a sudden financial burden.
Brooke was known for her warmth, kindness, and an amazing smile that touched everyone she knew. Her passing has created a void in the lives of her family and friends, who are now mourning the loss of a devoted wife and mother, as well as a loyal friend.
In response to this tragedy, a fundraiser has been organized by Emily Thompson to support Dan and Addison during this incredibly difficult time. The fundraiser aims to help with funeral expenses and to mitigate the impact of the loss of Brooke’s income, which has placed a huge strain on the family.
As of now, the fundraiser has raised $900 of its $10,000 goal, with contributions from 13 donors. Among the donors, Lisa Staffaroni’s $100 contribution is the top donation, followed by an anonymous $50 donation, and a recent $25 donation from Bridget Pigman.
The community’s support is crucial in helping Dan and Addison cope with their loss and the financial challenges ahead. Every contribution, no matter how small, is a step towards lessening the burden on Brooke’s family.
"Even the smallest donation can make a difference and show Dan and Addison that they are not alone in their grief," said the organizers. They urge the community to come together to support the Mendenhall family and honor Brooke’s memory by easing their burden during this heartbreaking time.
Emily Thompson, the organizer from Wyoming, MN, and friends and colleagues of the Mendenhall family, have expressed their heartfelt gratitude for the compassion and support shown during this time. They continue to seek donations and encourage sharing the fundraiser to help make a world of difference for Dan and Addison.
Please consider contributing to this cause to support the Mendenhall family in their time of need.
