My name is Anita, I am raising funds for my dear friend Lisa Mellor. Her daughter Sofia has passed unexpectedly. Sofia was born with a heart condition and died naturally and peacefully in her sleep. We are waiting for medical examiners confirmation.Lisa is the mother of 5 children, Alex, Jewel, Sofia, Ella, and Irelyn. Throughout her life she has always put others before herself. Helping as a teenager raise her 4 younger siblings before becoming a mother at the age of 20. Lisa went to night school at Notre Dame College while raising her first child to earn her degree and has worked in the New Hampshire Public Schools for over 20 years teaching kindergarten and elementary school. Through the ups and downs of life, Lisa has always put her children first. Anyone who knows Lisa would agree she is a kind hearted, empathetic, and altruistic person. Any donations will go to supporting Lisa and her family in paying for the services and burial for this unexpected and tragic death of her daughter. Sofia had a fiery spirit, her heart filled with so much love for the people around her. She surrounded people with laughter and joy wherever she went. Never leaving a room without cracking a joke at you. Please consider donating to help my friend and her family.
