My name is Martin Harrington ( MarQuise ) and I’m coming to you with a heavy heart on behalf of my family. We are grieving a devastating loss that no family should ever have to endure.

My cousin’s life was taken far too soon due to senseless gun violence at the hands of her estranged husband, who also took his own life. In a single, tragic moment, everything changed for her children and for all of us who loved her.

She was more than just a victim—she was a devoted mother, a beautiful soul, and the center of her children’s world. Her love, her presence, and her strength were everything to them, and now they are left trying to understand a loss that words can’t explain.

Right now, her children are facing a future without their parents who meant everything to them. In the midst of their grief, they now have to navigate life without their mothers or fathers love, guidance, and protection.

I’m raising funds to support her children during this unimaginable time. These donations will help cover their immediate needs, ongoing care, and provide some stability as they begin to heal and move forward.

Anything you can give—no matter how small—means more than words can express. And if you’re unable to donate, simply sharing this page helps keep her memory alive and supports the children she loved so deeply.

Thank you for your compassion, your support, and for standing with us during one of the hardest moments of our lives.
