Michelle Augé is facing the unimaginable loss of her beloved husband, Tom, who unexpectedly passed away on July 10th, 2026. As Michelle and their two young sons, Raleigh and Ryland, navigate the difficult days ahead, they are surrounded by the love and support of friends, family, and the Park Ridge community. Tom and Michelle have been active parents at Carpenter Elementary School and have generously invested their time supporting local youth through hockey and baseball. Whether cheering from the sidelines, volunteering behind the scenes, or serving as coaches and mentors, they have made a lasting impact on countless families and children in our community.

 This fundraiser has been created to help ease the financial burdens that often accompany such an unexpected loss. Funds will go toward covering funeral costs, living expenses, and setting aside college funds for Raleigh and Ryland. By coming together, we can help Michelle focus on healing, remembering Tom, and finding a way forward for herself and her boys. If you are able, please consider making a contribution. No gift is too small, and every donation is a meaningful expression of love, support, and community during this incredibly difficult time.

 Thank you for keeping Michelle, Raleigh, and Ryland in your thoughts and prayers. Your generosity and kindness are a powerful reminder that they are not alone, and that the community Tom and Michelle helped build is here to support them when they need it most.
