Support the Semplinski’s Through Grief and Loss
Donation protected
My names Kelsea and I’m Madisons childhood best friend. I’m making the gofundme to help Madison and her wife and their families through this unimaginable time.
On Thursday night, Trish’s dad unexpectedly passed away at a very young age. The devastation has been insurmountable for this family. Dave was a dad, a husband, a grandfather, a brother, a son, a bestfriend, Santa clause when needed, the life of the party, and so so much more. He will be missed greatly by so many.
Dave was the main provider for him and his wife Sharon. He worked as the funeral home director for many years, helping families lay loved once’s to rest, as we now must do for him. As you could imagine, Sharon is heartbroken and now responsible for the monthly bills and debt all on her own. Part of this fundraiser will go to Sharon to help her with bills and to help with the cost of Dave’s celebration of life so the burden of it all is not on Trish and Madison.
Kristie (Madison’s mom) was diagnosed with Stage 4 pancreatic cancer and was put on hospice today at the young age of 55. She was diagnosed recently and this has all happened very quickly. Part of the fundraiser will go towards helping pay for Kristie’s cremation and her celebration of life.
Kristie is one of my favorite people. She loves her kids, grandkids, sisters, parents, friends and family so much. She would use the last dollar she had to buy a gift for her grandkids. She would let anyone stay with her if they needed a place to crash. She was always down to have a good time. The worst things truly do happen to the best people.
Any donation is greatly appreciated. My goal is to try to lift any sort of weight off of the stress and sorrow the family is feeling. On top of these losses, madison and trish are expecting a sweet baby girl. For the babies health, I want to keep the stress level as low as I can, if that’s even possible. We appreciate you all so so much. ❤️
