Stand with Tessa: Easing Her Burden

Supporting Tessa & Her Family After the Sudden Loss of her fiancé

We are reaching out with heavy hearts to ask for your support for our dear friend and coworker, Tessa. Tessa is a compassionate, hardworking medical assistant who dedicates her days to caring for others. Now, she and her family need our help.

Just recently, Tessa experienced the unimaginable—her beloved fiancé, Mike, passed away suddenly and unexpectedly. His passing has left a deep void in the lives of everyone who knew and loved him. Mike was not only Tessa’s partner, but also a devoted father to his two sons and a loving father figure to Tessa’s daughter, whom he was preparing to embrace as his own stepdaughter.

This tragedy has placed an overwhelming emotional and financial burden on Tessa as she navigates life without her partner and helps three children through their grief. As friends, coworkers, and a community who care deeply for her, we want to rally around Tessa during this devastating time.

We are raising funds to help ease the financial strain of unexpected bills, living expenses, and any necessities the family may need in the weeks and months to come. Every donation, no matter the size, will make a difference and be a reminder to Tessa that she is not alone.

If you're unable to give, please consider sharing this campaign with others who may be able to help. Your kindness and compassion mean more than words can express.

Thank you for standing with Tessa and her family during this difficult journey.

With love and gratitude,

Her Cleveland Clinic Family and Friends
