The Garcia family is in need of our love and support as they grieve the heartbreaking loss of Melanie, a beloved wife, devoted mother of two young children, dear sister, and cherished friend.

During this incredibly difficult time, many in this beautiful, extended community of friends and family whom Melanie has touched with her kindness, compassion, and joy have reached out looking for ways to support her husband Jason and their children. First and foremost, the family is deeply grateful for the outpouring of love and prayers and humbly request the prayers continue as they navigate this tragic loss. If you feel so moved, a contribution of any amount will go directly to Jason and the children to support immediate financial needs and also help fund an account for the children’s long-term care. This fundraiser was created by family and friends for the express benefit of the Garcia family and 100% of all donations go directly to Jason and the children.

Regardless of your ability to support financially, please consider sharing this fundraiser with others and, above all, keep the Garcia and Stafford families in your prayers. The incredible power of faith, hope, and love will carry them through this loss. Every prayer and act of kindness brings healing and reveals what is true, good, and beautiful in this life. Thank you!
