Help Support the DeChhat Family

Boua and Mason DeChhat tragically drowned on the evening of June 9, 2022 in the Merrimack River by Amesbury, Massachusetts. Boua(30) heroically tried to save her children, Elyssa(7) and Mason(6), who were taken by the water's edge and swept away by the current. She was able to save Elyssa and hand her off to a fishing boat that came over to help, but drowned trying to save her son Mason. They are survived by husband/father Sammy DeChhat(31), daughter/sister Kayleen(12), and son/brother Kayden(14). Two of six in the family died that day. Three of the four children attend the Murkland Elementary School in Lowell, Massachusetts. Any help is appreciated for funeral costs, housing, and support for the family in this incredibly difficult time.
