Goal

Evelyn Dieckhaus was our smart, fun, and creative 9 year old who passed from this world on March 27, 2023.  Evelyn loved her family more than anything but she also loved her school, arts & crafts, animals, and helping those with special needs.


The Evelyn Dieckhaus Shining Light Fund is a charitable fund set up by our family to shine a light on the causes that were closest to Evelyn's heart.  Please consider joining us in supporting many wonderful causes on her behalf.


Love,


Mike, Katy, and Eleanor Dieckhaus

My heart is heavy with grief and sadness upon hearing this devastating news. Although I only had the pleasure of meeting Evelyn a couple of times, I could tell that she was an extraordinary little girl. Her warmth, kindness, and infectious smile made a lasting impression on me. Please know that you are not alone in your grief, and that the community is here to support you in any way we can. Evelyn's beautiful spirit will live on in your hearts forever.
