Hi, my name is Teresa Barajas, and I’m reaching out on behalf of my cousin, Abby Padilla, a devoted stay-at-home mom to four beautiful daughters — Melissa, Melanie, Melody, and Melinda.

Abby is currently in the hospital in critical condition, and our family is heartbroken and praying for her recovery. As if this weren’t already incredibly difficult, her husband — the family’s sole provider — has recently passed away, leaving Abby and the girls facing this tragedy without the support they once had.

We are starting this GoFundMe to help ease the financial burden Abby will face once she’s out of the hospital. These funds will go directly toward:

• Her medical expenses and ongoing care

• Living costs while she focuses on healing

• Support for her daughters, who are her world

Abby has always poured her love and energy into being an incredible mother. Now, it’s our turn to be there for her. Whether you can donate, share, or keep her in your prayers — every bit of support makes a difference.

Thank you for your kindness, compassion, and love for Abby and her girls.
