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

Upon reading about the attack, your daughter’s name stuck out to me as I also want to name my future daughter Evelyn. She seemed like such a sweet soul and I’m glad that my daughter will share the name of such a brave and kind little girl. Praying for you and your family. ❤️

Katy, my heart breaks with the news of your daughter’s senseless death. You were a student of mine at Wash U and I was so touched to see that Evelyn wanted to be an OT like you…what a great testament to her love and admiration of you. No words can offer you peace but I hope through this fund no one will forget Evelyn! Jeanenne Dallas
