Support Gabe & Melisa Bush

Help Melisa After the Unexpected Loss of Her Husband, Bill Bush

Dear Friends, Family, and Kind Strangers,

With heavy hearts, my friends and I are rallying together to support our dear friend, Melisa Bush, who is facing unimaginable loss and overwhelming financial hardship following the unexpected passing of her beloved husband and our kind friend, Bill.

Bill was not only a devoted husband, father and teacher but also a cherished member of his community. From the plains of Zimbabwe to the volcanoes of Ecuador, Bill had many friends across the world. Many of you have been lucky enough to receive his amazing “Bills Bagels” or to be merely graced with his wry humor on one of your adventures with him. His sudden departure has left an irreplaceable void in the lives of Melisa and her son, Gabe. Amid the grief, Melisa now faces a labyrinth of financial challenges, including:

Melisa is doing everything she can to manage these burdens while coping with her profound loss. But she can’t do it alone. We are reaching out to ask for your support, whether through a donation or sharing this campaign with others.

Every dollar raised will go directly toward easing her financial strain and helping her rebuild stability for herself and her son. Together, we can provide her with the comfort of knowing she is not alone right now despite the financial stress.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your generosity and compassion during this challenging time.

With gratitude.

Katie, friend and former colleague of The Bushes
