Fundraiser for Hope Fairclough McGowan & Family

Donation protected
On October 8th, our sweet Hope lost her year-long fight with stage 4 melanoma. For those of you who didn’t have the pleasure of knowing Hope personally, she was the world’s most amazing wife (to Brett McGowan), mother to two beautiful babies (their 3-year-old Henry and 1-year-old Faith), daughter, sister and friend to more people than we can name.

While this past year has been anything but easy, it has reminded us how incredibly loved Hope is. Our family has been overwhelmed by the love, support, and prayers from our community. Whether you’ve dropped off treats, attended rosary, sent a text, played with the kids, donated a gift card, or given us an extra hug in passing - we can’t thank you enough. It has meant the world to us, we feel so blessed to have you by our side.

We are heartbroken to have lost our beautiful Hope, but now our goal is to support Brett, Henry and Faith through this difficult time. This GoFundMe will go directly to the McGowan family. Any donations, prayers, or words of encouragement would be so appreciated. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Love,

The Fairclough Family
