Elena Butler Memorial Fund

Support Marta Molina and Brad Butler in their time of loss

We are raising money to support Marta and Brad to cope with the sudden and tragic loss of their oldest daughter, Elena Butler. Elena is survived by her parents, sisters, five-year-old son, James, members of her extended family, and her many friends. Elena was a loving mother and an artist who strived to improve this world.

Many of you know Marta through her work as an early childhood educator. Marta has worked in this community for over thirty years and has guided and supported thousands of families as they took their fist steps in preschool. Brad tirelessly works with animal control, rescuing abused animals and even taking in 3 rescue dogs that could not be adopted out.

It is in the spirt of compassion and service that Marta and Brad raised Elena and their other daughters, Molly and Olivia. Now we have the opportunity to support a family who has given so much to this community.

We are asking you to support Marta and Brad in continuing the legacy of a life lost too young. Please help Elena’s family with funding for funeral/memorial expenses and support for James. 

As long-time friends, we have often been moved by the kindness of this vibrant family who has always taken care of the members of their community. We ask you for a contribution to alleviate their suffering.  To help get the word out, you can share the link to your Facebook Timeline.
