Peace From Niece:
Helping those living with mental illness find peace and hope – in honor of Niece Waidhofer
Let Niece’s story be your guide.
Aspiring actor and model turned social media maven.
Adored wife, cherished daughter, loyal friend.
And beautiful soul.
In Niece Waidhofer’s short life, she publicly shared her private mental health struggles as generously as she shared her dreams and impressive achievements. In the end, she withdrew and lost hope. She quietly warned us all, and then she was gone. Sadly, she took her own life.
This site is her family’s way of honoring Niece’s memory by inspiring those who cared about her to donate funds to help those living with a mental illness. If you are struggling with a mental illness, please find peace here on earth in Niece’s honor.

Niece was an exceptionally talented artist with an eye for the extraordinary. She personally created the photographs for her Instagram account by doing her own makeup, styling, lighting, and photography. We are proud to share this gallery of images, some of which have never been published.
