Our family is devastated as we share the heartbreaking loss of our beloved Christina Kelly, who was taken from us at only 29 years old. Christina was a devoted mother, a loving daughter, and a bright, compassionate soul whose kindness touched everyone she met. A few years ago, she endured the loss of her brother, and now our family is facing the unthinkable pain of losing her as well.

Christina was murdered in her apartment complex parking lot, shot 13 times by the father of her two baby boys. He was holding their infants in his arms as he carried out this horrific act, a moment of violence so unimaginable that our family is still struggling to process it. After the attack, he fled the scene with the children, leaving us in terror and heartbreak. Although the boys—just 20 months and 3 months old—are now safe, their lives will never be the same.

Christina was a deeply loving mother who worked tirelessly to create a warm, stable life for her sons. She deserved to watch them grow, to see their milestones, and to experience the joy of raising them. Her life was stolen, and her boys will now grow up without the mother who cherished them more than anything in this world.

We are raising funds to give Christina the beautiful funeral and memorial she deserves, something that honors her life, her love, and the strength she carried despite the hardships she faced. We are also collecting donations to support her baby boys with the essential necessities they now urgently need—clothing, food, diapers, and ongoing care.

No one can replace Christina, but we are committed to giving her children the safety, love, and stability she worked so hard to provide.

During this painful time, any amount—big or small—will help ease the heavy financial burdens our family now carries. If you are unable to donate, please consider sharing this fundraiser and keeping us in your prayers as we grieve this unimaginable loss.

We are heartbroken. We are mourning. And we are doing everything we can to honor Christina’s memory and protect her baby boys.

Thank you for your love, your compassion, and your support.
