My name is Rebecca Smith, a former police officer and friend of Bridget McDile, and currently Bridget's co-worker in the corporate security sector.

Bridget's son, this bright soul, lost his life in a horrific act of violence on September 25, 2025. Malik was a proud father, son, uncle, and friend. His mother, Bridget, recently suffered loss during the tornado that ripped through St. Louis, and is now facing this terrible loss of her son. Please help Bridget and her family with funeral costs to relieve the stress that comes with losing a loved one, especially a child.
