Melanie is Sammy and Lizzy’s second child, and she has always been the light of their lives. At just one years old, Melanie brought joy and laughter to everyone around her. Sammy and Lizzy cherished every moment with her, reading stories and playing together, creating memories that will always be treasured by their family.

Recently, Melanie suffered a tragic accident. She is now in the PICU unit on life support, and the doctors are preparing to perform a brain death test. The family is facing an unimaginable situation, holding onto hope and supporting each other through every moment.

Sammy recently made the selfless decision to leave his job in Tennessee and return to New York to take care of his aging grandmother. While searching for employment, he is currently without a source of income. Any support you can offer is greatly appreciated.

This fundraiser is to help cover the mounting medical bills, and travel expenses that have come with Melanie’s hospitalization. Any support will help Sammy, Lizzy, and their loved ones focus on being together and honoring Melanie’s memory during this incredibly difficult time.
