My name is Katherine. My sister Emily lost her life to mental illness, leaving her two beautiful boys, Anthony (nearly three) and Joseph (one), without a mother, and a husband without a wife.

Emily had suffered from unresolved trauma years ago and then battled with postpartum depression. Unfortunately, she kept her struggles to herself for far too long.

She spent multiple weeks in the hospital seeking help. Then upon release, attended therapy sessions in the evenings. It wasn't enough and we lost her.

Please help me support my wonderful brother-in-law, Matt, as he navigates life and raises these two young boys without his better half, who was a stay-at-home Mom.

The money donated will go toward funeral expenses, medical bills, and childcare costs.

We thank you for your consideration in supporting this next season of life for Matt and his young sons.
