November 1st, 2025, our lives changed forever. A beautiful little girl that we love so dearly witnessed the murder of her mother by her own father, who also took his own life. The tragedy has shocked and devastated our community. Many have reached out to see how they can help the 9-year-old survivor of domestic violence.

The family has agreed that the best way to help the daughter and honor her mother is to start a college fund for her future. The daughter is incredibly smart, and her mother always wanted her to grow up to be a famous scientist. In addition to her bright mind, this heartbreaking tragedy has also revealed her resilience, immeasurable strength, and bravery.

While we all appreciate the community's desire to help, and each and every donation, we do ask that the family is allowed privacy to process and heal from all that has occurred. The ultimate goal is to surround her in stability, safety, and joy and allow the daughter the best chance at as normal a life as possible moving forward.

A single picture has been included to show the love and precious bond between mother and daughter. Names have intentionally been withheld to allow her privacy.
