It's absolutely gut-wrenching to think about the impact Ellie's death has had on Lana and Raquel. I can't even begin to fathom how these two young girls are processing everything right now. They’ve not only lost their mother but are dealing with the overwhelming chaos that follows such a tragic event. It’s commendable to see the community rallying around them through the GoFundMe. With over $38,000 raised, it’s a testament to the love and respect Ellie had from those around her. As someone who works in a similar field, it hits home seeing how Ellie was trying to balance a demanding career and personal turmoil. It’s just so important that we all keep an eye out for those around us, even the strong and stoic ones we think don’t need it. The fact that justice is being sought for Ellie is reassuring, but let's not forget to continue supporting those two little girls who carry Ellie's legacy. They’re going to need constant love and strength from the community as they navigate such a harrowing journey.
