Help the destitute family of murdered teen

2/21/2025 - I have created this fundraiser on behalf of Nancy Finch, Madison's mother, at the request of their pastor Justin Kollmeyer and other members of her church family. The details below were written by Pastor Kollmeyer:

15-year-old Madison Gesswein was murdered in her own bedroom two years ago this week, February 20, 2023. This was in Peachtree City, Georgia, which is in Fayette County. It was covered by all the news outlets.

Madison was a fine Christian young lady, attended her church regularly, was a good student and well behaved and well liked at school. Her murder was astoundingly heinous and shocking, and at no fault of hers whatsoever.

Since her murder, her single-parent mother Nancy Finch and her autistic brother have had a horrific series of life events. Excruciating and debilitating grief, the trauma of two trials of the accused, and extreme financial difficulties have overtaken them.

This grief-stricken mother and her autistic adult son have fallen farther and farther behind in their financial obligations and are now about to be evicted from their apartment. The apartment complex is demanding $6,000 now, by Monday, February 24,2025 and a guarantee of rent money in the future. Our goal is to raise enough to keep her in her home, and then as much as possible to help her get back on her feet.

Please note, Nancy is quite capable and employed, but has missed so much work. She wants to get back into a full-time work schedule. She is gifted and talented and capable of earning a living. Caring for her autistic son brings great challenges, of course.

Even though they are beloved by so many, they have no immediate family and no friends in a position to take them in with their furniture and life-long belongings. In addition, they are desperately also trying to hold onto and take care of the pets Madison loved so much and left behind at her death.

Please let The Voice of God, the gravity of this situation, the horrific slaughter of a beautiful young life, and the potential dire consequences of the eviction of this grieving mother move you to participate and give as much as you possibly can for this noble cause.

Peachtree City, Fayette County, and all Americans please rise up and let’s take care of one of our own. Anyone in the Atlanta area or throughout the country, this is worth your generous response.

May God bless you!

THANK YOU!
