Support for the Acheampong Family
Donation protected
On June 8, 2025, our beloved Melanie Acheampong passed away after a courageous battle with Triple Negative Breast Cancer. She was just 38 years old.
Melanie was the heart of her family; a devoted wife to Yaw and a loving, hands-on mother to their three young children: Cameron (8), Quentin (6), and Mya (2). Her love for her children was fierce, constant, and limitless. She was the kind of mother who made every moment feel special and each child feel deeply loved.
She was also a cherished daughter, a devoted sister, and a fiercely loyal friend. Melanie had a gift for making people feel seen, heard, and cared for. Her warmth, humor, and light touched everyone around her, and her loss is felt deeply by all who knew her.
In honor of Melanie’s incredible life and legacy, we are asking for donations to support the Acheampong family during this unimaginably difficult time. All funds will go directly toward helping Yaw and the children with long-term support, ensuring the kids have continued access to stability, care, education, and the opportunities Melanie dreamed of for them.
Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and love for this beautiful family
