With no safety net and no warning, four children are now left without their mother.
Our family is devastated to share that Helene tragically and unexpectedly passed away at just 44 years old.
She was a devoted single mom who poured every ounce of her love and strength into raising her four beautiful children…and she didn’t have it easy — her oldest son (21), her 18-year-old twins, and her youngest daughter (14), who heartbreakingly lost her mom just two weeks before her 15th birthday.
Helene lived with disability and struggled her whole life to provide for her kids.
Without financial resources to fall back on, her children are now facing not only unbearable grief but also the urgent realities of life without their mom.
• Her 21-year-old son, still finding his own way in adulthood, must suddenly step into the role of guardian and provider.
• The twins, on the brink of beginning college, now face uncertain futures without their mom’s guidance.
• And her youngest daughter is left to navigate her teenage years without the love, protection, and encouragement only a mother can give.
We are raising funds to help with:
• Rent and household bills so they can remain in their home
• Groceries and daily necessities
• School and college expenses
• Transportation needs, since none of the children drive
• Basic comfort and stability as they begin this painful transition
All funds will be managed by their aunt, ensuring every donation directly supports the children.
Every gift, no matter the size, helps give these kids a lifeline of stability during this unimaginable loss.
If you cannot give, please consider sharing this page and keeping them in your prayers.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for surrounding Helene’s children with the love and compassion she gave so freely to everyone she knew. ️
