Support Chloe and Sophia's Future After Tragic Loss
Donation protected
I am starting this Go Fund Me to benefit Chloe (15) and Sophia Batson (11), two young girls from Lynn that are also Saugus YMCA gymnasts. After losing their mother to cancer four years back, they unexpectedly lost their father Tony on Monday evening, which has completely changed their lives.
Tony was a single dad who lived for his daughters. They were Tony’s everything. He was such a wonderful father, person and was always there for them, taking his daughters to gymnastics practice, banquets, and attending every single meet. With Tony’s sudden passing, Chloe and Sofia are overwhelmed with grief and uncertainty carrying forward with the support of their grandmothers and extended family.
The funds raised are for the girls’ future so they may fulfill their dad’s wish that they attend college and continue practicing gymnastics. This will help alleviate some of the burden for Chloe and Sophia.
I had known Tony for years as our girls were on the same gymnastics team. He was always pleasant and generous, helping at events and giving donations until the end. I used to always think of how hard it must be for him to raise two daughters, but he always made it look easy and did it with all of his heart. This devasting loss has impacted all our lives but Chloe and Sofia’s the most.
Any support is greatly appreciated as they now must navigate life without their loving father.
