Goal
Introducing the "Gina M. Hester Legacy of Love Giving Campaign," an initiative to commemorate and continue the profound work of Gina M. Hester. Gina, a cherished wife, an exceptional mother, and a passionate advocate for those in need, left an indelible mark on the world.
Born on January 19, 1959, and departing us on June 16, 2023, Gina was not just a beacon of hope and compassion in her family, but also a significant inspiration behind the mission of Change Unchained. Her life’s work beautifully mirrors the commitment to aiding those grappling with mental illness, a cause close to Gina's heart.
Wife to Karl Hester and mother to Troy, Jessie, and Karla, Gina's spirit of service extended to every aspect of her life. Fondly known as "Tiny Nana" by her grandchildren, Gina's memory lives on in the hearts of those she touched.
In place of flowers or other material tributes, the family respectfully requests donations be made in Gina's memory to Change Unchained. The campaign's donations will be utilized to cover the monthly costs of housing Survivors at the Burn It Down Ranch, a cause Gina ardently championed.
We invite everyone to join us in this tribute to Gina, and your words of remembrance are welcomed during the donation process. Simply leave your messages in the "comment" box.
Gina M. Hester - a life beautifully lived, a legacy passionately continued. We love you, Mom.

Your presence is at every corner of the house, every box I open to repack, brings back floods of emotions. In leaving this, our last home together on earth, you are still coming with me. Still in love, and don't see that changing. Karl

You have been gone for a month, it seems like an eternity. It seems like yesterday when the world was turned upside down. I am still there while those around me have moved on, as they should of course. I hear our honeymoon song, and I melt. Still your loving Husband, Karl.

I love you and Tiffany with my whole heart. Your mom helped make you who you are, and I am so grateful for that. I never met her, but I feel like I know her. Because of you two. And her peace is here. I’m praying so hard for yours. We love you. And we stand with you and by you as you navigate walking the earth in this new level. She is here and there and everywhere. All around you and within you. From personal experience, I can promise you that’s the truth. All the love.
