Support Scott Reilly and Baby Olivia

Dear Friends, Family, and Kindhearted Strangers,

My name is Trisha Reilly, and I am reaching out to you as a new mother myself, feeling the deep, immeasurable love that comes with holding a newborn in your arms. I am writing this with a heavy heart to ask for your support for our dear cousin, Scott Reilly, and his precious baby daughter, Olivia.

Just days ago, Scott’s beloved wife and Olivia’s devoted mother Shira Reilly, died in a car crash on the 401 in Kingston, Ontario. Olivia, who is almost a year old, was in the back seat during the accident but, by a miracle, emerged physically unharmed. However, the emotional impact on this sweet, innocent child and her father is beyond comprehension.

Scott is now faced with the daunting reality of raising Olivia on his own, without the love and partnership of Shira. The loss of a spouse and a mother is an indescribable pain, and the road ahead is filled with challenges that no one should have to face alone.

We have created this GoFundMe to help ease some of the burdens that have come crashing down on Scott during this devastating time. The funds raised will go towards:

1. Funeral Arrangements: Providing a respectful and loving farewell for the wonderful woman who meant the world to Scott and Olivia.

2. Transition Costs: Assisting Scott in managing the immediate expenses that come with this sudden life change.

3. Children’s Education Fund: Ensuring that Olivia has the support she needs for her future, allowing her to grow up with opportunities her mother would have dreamed of for her.

Any contribution you can make, no matter how small, will make a world of difference to this grieving family. Your generosity will help Scott and Olivia find their footing during this tumultuous time and begin the long journey of healing.

We are profoundly grateful for any offering friends, family, and kind strangers can provide. Additionally, we ask for your help in sharing this fundraiser with your networks to extend our reach and support for Scott and Olivia.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your kindness, support, and compassion during this difficult time.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Trisha and Jamie Reilly
