Community Support for Grieving Family

The Washington Middle School community experienced an indescribable loss on March 6, 2025. A 12-year-old girl lost her life when an unoccupied car rolled down the hill suddenly. This tragic accident has left the whole community shaken.

To support her grieving family during this difficult time, parents are collecting donations big and small to support them through this horrible loss and cover funeral expenses.

The organizers of this fundraiser are parents from Washington Middle School who reached out to the family to offer support. Thank you so much to our community for your outpouring of support for Berihun Mekonnen and his family so they can focus on their grief. We have increased our fundraising goal to provide further support for the family.
