Dear friends and community,

We come together with heavy hearts to share a devastating loss and stand beside the Xu family as they face unimaginable grief.

On Thursday, November 6, 2025, the fatal accident caused mom and daughter to be rushed to the hospital, where sweet, beautiful, loving Melody, took her last breath.

Now, they face not only the unimaginable grief of losing their little girl while also caring for their younger son - but also mounting practical burdens: medical bills, funeral and memorial costs, time off work, ongoing care and recovery for their mother, and the long road ahead emotionally and financially.

Our goal with this GoFundMe is three-fold:
1. To help cover legal costs and representation, ensuring access to justice and legal proceedings,
2. To offer ongoing support for the as they navigate the months ahead - for counselling, for missed work, for household expenses, for post surgery recovery like physio, and any additional medical care, equipment, and healing that will be needed,
3. To provide help for the eventual funeral and memorial service, so that the family can give their daughter a beautiful farewell, one that honours her spirit, her life, and the love she brought to everyone who knew her.

How funds will be used:
• Legal support and representation for the family
• Temporary loss of income and essential living expenses
• Hospital and ongoing rehabilitation costs for the mother’s injuries
• Funeral, memorial service, and related expenses
• Grief and trauma counselling for family, siblings, and close friends
• A small fund for the surviving sibling to ensure a stable, nurturing environment

Beyond financial help, the family deeply appreciates all prayers and divine support from those near and far. In times like these, faith and community become anchors - reminders that even through heartbreak, love endures and God’s presence brings comfort. Your prayers for healing, peace, and strength mean more than words can express, and the family feels every bit of that spiritual embrace.

Your contribution, no matter the size, will make a meaningful difference: a ripple of love around a family that desperately needs our compassion and support. If you can’t donate, sharing this campaign with your network means the world.

To the little girl we lost: you will always be in our hearts. We will honour you by coming together for your family, easing their burdens, lifting them when they need it most, and carrying a bit of your brightness forward in our lives.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your generosity, your prayers, and your support.

Please note that this is the official fundraising page created with the consent and support for the Xu Family. All funds received will go directly to the family.

With deep gratitude,
Xu Family Friends
