<div>Today, our hearts ache for Ella and her family as they face an unimaginable loss. The beautiful little Massapequa girl we all know and love has lost her devoted mother, Michelle, after a courageous battle with cancer.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Michelle was a loving wife, cherished daughter, sister, cousin, dear friend, and dedicated educator. She remained full of hope, believing her treatment was working, which makes her sudden passing even more heartbreaking.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Many have asked how they can help, and in response, this GoFundMe has been created in Michelle’s memory, <strong>for Ella</strong>. While nothing can replace a mother’s love, we can come together to support her future in a way that carries lasting meaning.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>As an educator, Michelle valued learning and opportunity, and nothing would bring her greater peace than knowing her daughter is surrounded by love and supported in the way she would have ensured herself. Helping with Ella’s education will be a tribute to Michelle and a reminder of the community that stands beside her.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Her husband, Mike, has never asked for anything, but as a community, we can step up in a meaningful way. 

</div>

<div><strong>Any donation, no matter the amount, is a heartfelt way to show your love and support.</strong>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>If you are unable to donate, sharing this campaign and keeping Ella and her family in your thoughts and prayers is equally powerful.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Let’s send Ella a message that her Massapequa family is here for her—today, tomorrow, and for years to come.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>God bless you all, and God bless the soul of our loving Michelle.
