Help Tiffany Through Tilly's Tragic Loss

What began as a joyful 4th of July celebration turned into an unthinkable tragedy. Four-year-old Tilly Adel Naureen Roache was critically injured in a boating accident on Lake Oconee following the fireworks display, when the boat she was on capsized due to swells in the water. Despite the best efforts of medical teams and the prayers of loved ones, Tilly passed away 48 hours later from the injuries she sustained.

Tilly was full of light — her sweet and innocent laughter could brighten any room, and her kind spirit touched everyone who met her. She loved dancing, princesses, and all things Spiderman. Her sudden passing has left her family, friends, and community in deep shock and heartbreak — especially her mother, Tiffany, who is now facing the unbearable pain no parent should ever have to endure.

Tiffany is a single mother who poured everything into giving Tilly a happy, loving life. In the wake of this tragedy, she is left to navigate both overwhelming grief and unexpected financial burdens.

We are starting this GoFundMe to raise funds to help with:

• Funeral and memorial service expenses

• Time off work for Tiffany to grieve and begin healing

• Emotional support services, including therapy and counseling

• Any unforeseen costs that arise during this heartbreaking time

No one should have to plan their child’s funeral, and certainly not alone. We ask for your help to lift some of this weight from Tiffany’s shoulders. Whether you can give $5 or $500, every contribution helps. If you can’t give, please consider sharing this with your community — your support in any form is deeply appreciated.

Let’s come together to honor Tilly’s beautiful spirit and show Tiffany that she is not alone in this unimaginable loss.

With love and gratitude,

Friends and Family of Tilly & Tiffany
