Samantha O'Dell is my beautiful, loving 19yr old step daughter who tragically lost her Mom Lisa, her cat Bandit and dog Buddy when a fire consumed their Troy apartment on October 19,2015.  




Samantha was a devoted daughter rarely leaving her Mom alone because Lisa was battling MS.  Samantha never complained or asked anyone for help.   She studied hard, graduated with honors from Troy High School. She completed her freshman year at HVCC when she decided it was best to put college on hold to care for her ailing Mom.  

Sadly now she is homeless and heartbroken.  She will be trying to pick up the pieces of her life without her Mom. She will need to replace everything, clothes, food, shelter.  Her sisters and I hope that she will resume college and we plan on helping her every way that we can.  Please help us help Samantha by sending positive thoughts and prayers her way and if possible you can make a small donation.   Every little bit will go a long way to make her recovery easier.  Thank you!!!
