Support Becky in Laying Missy to Rest

Donation protected
Hello, my name is Tiffany Espada and I'm trying to help raise funds for my dearest friend Becky Pratt for the passing of her partner of 16 years, Melissa "Missy" Baird. She sadly ended her own life after an extremely long battle with depression. Missy was a retired Corrections Officer for Hillsborough County, FL and had many people that loved her dearly and are very hurt and lost at this time.

Everything that is yet to come is very expensive and Becky can't handle it on her own so I'm helping her with this part to give her some help. I'm trying to raise enough for funeral expenses and traveling expenses to get her home to Pennsylvania from Florida to be laid to rest beside her parents. This is a very sad time for everyone right now but it's also extremely difficult and expensive. I'm trying to help out in any way I can and this is one of the ways that I can think of.

Missy was such a fantastic woman - absolutely hilarious and very fun to be around but was actively fighting her own demons on the inside and she lost that fight in her own way. She was also an organ donor and helped save at least five people's lives with her passing. Her family is in Pennsylvania so the only family she had in FL was Becky and Becky's son, who Missy helped raise, Joey. They're both terribly saddened right now and going through a very difficult time and I'm here asking for your help to help get her through the expenses part of this very sad situation and she needs all the help she can get as it's very expensive.

Missy had no life insurance so this is all on Becky and it's a lot for one person to handle at any time but especially now. If you can please find it in your heart to donate, it would be so insanely appreciated and never forgotten. Please, even if it's only $5, that will help greatly and will help her get Missy laid to rest. We want to say thank you in advance to anyone who donates and for you to know we appreciate it so very much. So thank you!
