In Honor of Melanie Michiels and Funeral Costs

Dear friends, family, and kind-hearted strangers,

I am Mike Pope, and I am wanting to fundraise on behalf of Bruce Michiels, my best friend. His daughter passed away and we are faced with the difficult task of arranging her farewell. We are wanting to give Melanie the heartfelt send-off that she deserves.

Melanie was a devoted mother of three children: Nick, John, and Abbygale. She had a deep love for the outdoors, often spending time searching for arrowheads and digging for artifacts. Her sudden death, currently under investigation as a murder, has left Bruce and his family in shock and unprepared, both emotionally and financially. We are asking for any support you can offer to help Bruce and his family during this incredibly difficult time. Any contribution, no matter the size, would be a blessing to them. Melanie's memory deserves a proper tribute, and your kindness can help make that possible.

We appreciate your thoughts and prayers as we navigate this challenging period.

Thank you for your generosity and support.
