Please help Grace and James Maniego

It is with great sadness and deeply heavy hearts that we are setting up this gofundme page for the children of Melissa Maniego. She leaves behind two children - Christina Grace Ausaw (7) and James Ausaw Maniego (3). Melissa passed away all too quickly from acute myeloid leukemia.

The Tisch community is working closely together to raise funds for immediate and future expenses to help provide for these children. Grace and James are surrounded by love and we would greatly appreciate any donation for their ongoing support.

We are truly devastated by this tragic loss and thank you in advance for your contribution. Please feel free to pass this along to any friends or colleagues.

To everyone that has donated, thank you! As a quick update - my name is Carrie, and I'm a friend of the family and work at NYU. The money you have donated or will donate will go directly into a fund managed by Grace and James' aunt. She is the beneficiary and will help take care of expenses for the children. All money will go directly to the children's living expenses. Thank you again so much!
