Dear friends, family, and kind-hearted supporters,

We are reaching out to you today with heavy hearts to share the heartbreaking news of the unexpected passing of Ellis Ray St. John, a loving father to an 11-year-old, 8-year-old, and his beloved baby girl, Evelyn Pearl St. John, born on August 6, 2021. Ellis meant the world to us, and his untimely departure has left a significant void in our lives.

In addition to coping with the emotional turmoil of losing her partner, Pam Hubbard, my dear sister, is now facing overwhelming financial challenges. We are rallying together to support Pam and baby Evelyn during this difficult time, and we need your help.

Pam is currently burdened with a range of expenses that have accumulated due to Ellis's passing:

Rent and Lease: Catching up on rent and breaking the lease will cost approximately $10,000, as Pam cannot afford the rent on her own.

Cleanup Expenses: Pam had to pay $200 for the cleanup of their rental home after Ellis's passing.

Memorial and Cremation: The memorial and cremation costs for Ellis amounted to $3,000.

Moving and Miscellaneous Expenses: Pam needs close to $2,000 to cover moving costs and other miscellaneous expenses that have arisen due to this unforeseen tragedy.

We have set up this GoFundMe campaign with the hope of providing Pam and baby Evelyn with the financial support they desperately need to navigate these difficult times. Every contribution, no matter how small, will make a meaningful difference in helping them rebuild their lives.

Your generosity and support will help ease the financial burden that Pam is currently facing, allowing her to focus on being there for her children during this challenging period. Please consider donating and sharing this campaign with your network.

In honor of Ellis's memory and his experience as a foster child, we want to let you know that any amount received in excess of what is needed will be donated to the Alabama Foster & Adoptive Parent Association, a nonprofit organization that supports the foster care system of Alabama. This will continue Ellis's legacy of compassion and care for those in need.

Let us come together as a community to provide comfort and stability for Pam and baby Evelyn as they navigate this incredibly challenging chapter in their lives. Your kindness and compassion are deeply appreciated.

Thank you for your support.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Tera House
