My name is Abbrielle Hoholik, and I am setting up this fundraiser on behalf of my cousin, Teara Smith. It is with a completely shattered heart that we share the devastating news of the passing of her beautiful 13-year-old daughter, McKenna.

Losing a child is a tragedy no parent should ever have to endure. McKenna brought so much light and joy into the lives of everyone who knew her, and her sudden absence has left an unimaginable void for her mother and her brother, Bryson.

As our family navigates this horrific heartbreak, we want to ensure that financial stress is the absolute last thing on Teara’s mind. We are raising money to help cover the heavy financial burdens that come with such a sudden loss.

All funds raised will go directly toward:

• Funeral and Memorial Costs: To help give McKenna the beautiful and respectful farewell she deserves.

• Living Expenses & Time to Heal: To allow Teara to take the necessary time off work without worrying about bills. It is crucial that she and her son have this time to grieve, begin to heal, and simply be together when they need each other the most.

Any contribution, no matter the size, will make a profound difference for their family as they try to find their footing in the difficult days and months ahead. If you are unable to donate at this time, keeping them in your thoughts and sharing this page with your friends and family would mean the world to us.

Thank you for all the love, prayers, and support during this incredibly dark time.
