Help Eli and Roxie Through Grief and Hope

Eli and Roxie Troyer recently welcomed their twin boys, Malachi Christian and Michael Ray, into the world. Though their journey has been marked by incredible joy, it has also brought profound heartache. Malachi is currently in the Akron Children’s NICU, and while he is showing great strength, his road to recovery will be long. Tragically, Michael Ray was with us for only a brief time before he entered the arms of Jesus. As friends and family, we now have an opportunity to walk alongside Eli and Roxie during this challenging season.

For those who know Eli and Roxie, you know they are among the most generous people you’ll ever meet—always ready to lend a hand or bless someone in need. Now it’s our chance to give back. The daily drives to and from the hospital, along with the added expenses of caring for their family during this time, are significant. I know Eli would humbly say they don’t need assistance, but I know how quickly these costs can add up.

If you feel led to support them, whether in honor of Malachi’s continued fight or in remembrance of Michael Ray, this GoFundMe is a way to bless them tangibly. And knowing Eli and Roxie, any extra funds will likely go toward helping others in need.

Let’s remember the words of Jesus in Matthew 10:8: “Freely you have received; freely give.” May we come together to show love and support for this incredible family as they navigate this season of both grief and hope.
