Support for Machela and Her Children After a Tragic Loss
Donation protected
I’m starting this GoFundMe on behalf of my sister, Machela, and her three children, who are going through an unimaginable tragedy. The father of her children was recently murdered, and while grieving such a devastating loss, Machela is now facing unexpected financial burdens that are overwhelming.
She has had to use the money she had been saving to move her family into a safer, more stable apartment to instead help cover the costs of his memorial and supporting her kids on her own. This has put her in a difficult position—trying to do what’s right by honoring his life, while also trying to protect and provide for her children’s future.
Machela is a hardworking mother with a job, and she had planned to take on a side job to make ends meet. But in the wake of this trauma, her children need her more than ever. The emotional impact of losing their father has shaken their world, and her presence and support are crucial for their mental and emotional healing right now.
We’re asking for any support you can give to help Machela get back on track. Your donations will go directly toward securing a new place to live for her and the kids—a fresh start and a stable home where they can begin to heal.
If you’re unable to donate at this time, please consider sharing this link. Every share helps us reach more people who may be able to help.
Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and prayers during this incredibly painful time.
