TikToker Zuza Beine passed away on September 22, 2025, after battling leukemia for years. She often used her platform to share her daily life and her journey with cancer.

The influencer's family shared that Zuza's uncle passed away on September 18, 2025, and she would have appreciated it if her followers could support her late uncle's family.

The GoFundMe fundraiser's description stated that the Stieber family needed financial help as Lauren, Zuza Beine's aunt, is now the single mother to a three-year-old and a six-year-old. Beine's uncle passed away unexpectedly this month at the age of 41, and Lauren is struggling as the sole provider.

The description shared that any amount of donation, meals, gift cards for meals, or groceries, would appreciated. Out of the $120,000 target, $80,000 has been collected so far. The donors have left comments, saying that they donated in memory of Zuza.

"Olaf's unexpected and tragic death this week has shaken their family to the core, leaving a young mother to face raising and providing for her children on her own with little financial cushion. As a sole provider, Lauren faces many unexpected challenges; some immediately thrust upon her in the wake of heartache and loss and many unknown challenges ahead," the description stated.
