Marissa Marcus was a devoted single mother who touched the lives of everyone she met. After a courageous six-year battle with Stage 4 Breast Cancer, Marissa passed away on November 8, 2025, at just 44 years old. She leaves behind three wonderful children: a 15-year-old daughter, a 13-year-old daughter, and an 11-year-old son. With Marissa’s passing, her children are now in foster care, facing a future without their loving mother by their side.

Marissa’s greatest wish was to see her children grow, learn, and thrive. As the executor of her will and custodian of their bank accounts, I am committed to honoring her legacy by ensuring her children have the support they need. The funds raised through this campaign will go directly toward the children’s daily needs and future education, helping to provide stability and opportunity during this difficult time.

We are deeply grateful for any support you can offer to Marissa’s children. Your generosity will help create light in their lives and give them hope for a brighter future. Marissa was an incredible mother who left us far too soon, and your kindness will help her children flourish in the years ahead.
