Compassion for Merrielle: Travel and Funeral Aid

Calling one, calling all! Let’s help Merrielle!

Merrielle is the sweetest of humans and she is braving through family tragedy right now. Sixteen years ago, Merrielle lost her mother to a battle with colon cancer. Then, just two years ago, she coped with the loss of her step-mom. Now, her father Steve McDonough is not doing well. He was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer in December after an already existing health battle that has left him very weak. Steve is soon to be put on hospice in Merrielle’s family home in Rockland, New York.

Merrielle is traveling home January 28 to be with her family for the last days of her dad’s life. She needs financial support for rent while she’s gone (screw Jackson), travel expenses, missed wages, and funeral expenses. Even if you only have $10 to give, please help!! Merrielle deserves all the compassion in the world. Losing family is crushing and Merrielle has always been a strong friend, sister, aunt, and daughter. Please help her through this awful moment.
