Rally for Billie Jo, Gracie & Nik

My name is Tony Mele The picture is of one of my granddaughters that I have guardianship of, Billie Jo, who is 7 years old. Billie lost her dad a year ago and now has lost her mom, Rebecca Mele. Becky battled an illness for many years. Gracie Lynn is another granddaughter and is now 16. Nik is Becky’s son and is 13 years old. Becky passed away on 1/28/2025. We are trying to raise some money to help with funeral and memorial expenses and to help the children get through this very difficult time. Becky was loved by so many people, but her children loved her beyond any words could explain. Myself and my wife Becky Mele sr. have been chosen to care for two of these grandchildren. We are 65+ in age and are committed to seeing these kids grow and become successful. We appreciate any help. Becky’s brother, my son Anthony Mele jr. was also taken from us 6 years ago, murdered while eating in a local restaurant by a homeless man while his 5 year old daughter Willow was sitting on his lap. This is 2 of our 4 kids that have been taken from us. I thank anyone that can help.

The funds will be used to help with the cost of the funeral and memorial, and to help with the needs of the children.
