Help Nine Siblings After Losing Their Mother

Update: A trust account is being set up for the sole benefit of the children and their immediate and future needs (as outlined below). All funds will be directly deposited there.

On June 12th, our community was shaken by an unimaginable tragedy. Sariah Robinson, a devoted mother of nine children, lost her life under heartbreaking circumstances. Her passing has left a profound void in the lives of her family, friends, and all who knew her.

This beautiful, loving mom was everything to her children. She was their protector, provider, encourager, and safe place. Their education was of the utmost importance to her, and she frequently taught them beyond the school's curriculum—enriching their lives with a depth of knowledge that included field trips to places around our community. Her children saw the value of this and often excitedly reported what they learned to their teachers. Her entire world revolved around her kids, and anyone who knew her could see the unconditional love and joy she poured into raising them.

As a teacher to three of these children, I've seen firsthand how kind, bright, and resilient they are—a reflection of their mother's strength and spirit. Now they are facing a future without her they need our help more than ever.

This GoFundMe has been set up to help Sariah’s sister, who is caring for the kids, with:

Funeral and memorial costs for their beloved sister/mother

Immediate needs for the children including clothing, food, school supplies, and emotional support (ages: 25, 21, 14, 13, 12, 10, 8, 5, and 2).

Long-term support as the children navigate life without either parent

No child should have to endure this kind of loss. Any amount you can give will go directly to supporting these nine siblings during the most difficult time of their lives. If you're unable to donate, please consider sharing this page so others can help.

Thank you for standing with these children and honoring the life of a mother who loved them with her whole heart.
