Let’s come together to support Caitlin as she processes this unfathomable loss. Caitlin is constantly taking care of others, and if you’ve ever met her, she’s probably made you laugh, made you a meal, or been supportive of your creative project. She’s given so much to the community, it’s her turn to be supported. Caitlin will need help with bills, rent, groceries. As more details become clear I will update the numbers. Hold each other tight and love one another.” said  Sadeghi.
