Hi there. My name is Emma and I've set this GoFundMe up for my beautiful sister and her family.

Our family is facing an unimaginable loss. My sister, Melissa, recently lost her husband, Sean. Leaving Melissa and their three gorgeous daughters — Secoyah, Dolcae, and Tielle behind. His passing was sudden and devastating, and we are all still trying to process the heartbreak.

Sean was deeply loved, and his absence has left an immeasurable void in their lives. In the midst of overwhelming grief, Melissa is now facing the very real and immediate challenges that come with this loss. Beyond the emotional toll, there are unexpected expenses, housing instability, and the financial strain of raising three girls on her own.

Secoyah, Dolcae, and Tielle are grieving deeply. They’ve lost their dad — a big personality in their lives that can never be replaced. Right now, more than anything, they need stability, security, and the space to heal. Melissa is focused on keeping life as steady and loving as possible for them, and we would love to give people the opportunity to help ease some of the ongoing financial burden Melissa will need to carry.

We are raising funds to help cover:

* Funeral and memorial expenses

* Immediate living costs such as rent, utilities, and groceries

* Potential moving expenses and securing stable housing

* Counseling and support services for the girls

* Ongoing basic needs as Melissa works to rebuild their lives

Melissa is a devoted and loving mother who puts her daughters above everything. Anyone who knows her knows her strength, compassion, and fierce love for her children. She is determined to create a safe and hopeful future for Secoyah, Dolcae, and Tielle — but she cannot do this alone.

If you are able to donate, no amount is too small. Every contribution will go directly toward helping this family find stability during the most painful chapter of their lives. If you’re not in a position to give, sharing this page and keeping Melissa and her girls in your thoughts and prayers means more than you know.

Thank you for surrounding this family with love, support, and hope when they need it most.
