Our beloved Melina — mother, wife, daughter, sister, and extraordinary friend—suffered a stroke on September 10th. She has yet to wake up. For those of us who have been lucky to know and love Melina our lives have been forever changed by her warmth, kindness, and radiant smile.

We are raising funds for Wade, Kiala, and Reyla, to get the help and support they need in this challenging time. Raising two beautiful young children through the difficulties and uncertainties of this tragedy is no easy feat. Wade has risen to the occasion, but he needs our help and support. Your donations will be used to cover medical, childcare, and other urgent expenses.

If you’re able, any donations would go a long way to helping the family land on their feet. Thank you.
