Honoring Samantha’s Life & Helping Our Family Heal

On September 15,2025 in the early morning hours, our family experienced an unthinkable tragedy when a man entered our home and opened fire. In just moments, our lives were forever changed. Our beloved sister, Samantha, lost her life that morning trying to defend our home, and others in our family were critically injured.

Samantha was the heart of our family—the baby sister with the purest soul, a calming voice of reason, and someone who loved deeply and selflessly. She didn’t have biological children, but she was like a mother to her 11 nieces and nephews and to the son she called her own. She gave so much love to all of us, and now we are left with a void that can never be filled.

In the midst of our grief, we are also faced with the heavy burden of unexpected expenses. This GoFundMe has been created to help with:

Funeral and memorial costs to honor Samantha’s life

Ongoing medical expenses for our loved ones who survived and are still fighting to recover

Counseling and grief support for family members trying to heal from this trauma

Other immediate needs as we begin to rebuild from this tragedy

If you feel led to give, know that every donation, no matter the size, will go directly toward helping our family through this unimaginable time. And if you’re not able to give financially, your prayers, messages, and love are just as meaningful.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for standing with us as we grieve Samantha, care for our loved ones, and try to navigate life after such a devastating loss.

With love and gratitude,

The Foulk Family
