Tragic Death for a Beautiful Family

Donation protected
A tragic loss has devastated a beautiful family. On November 10, 2023, Samantha Cross lost her beloved partner, Benjamin Merritt to a senseless act of violence. Benjamin absolutely loved Samantha, their almost 4-year-old daughter, Piper, and his 6-year-old son, Grant, with his sole purpose being their happiness. Benjamin was an amazing partner, supporter and provider, in all aspects of Samantha's life. The loss of a loved one always leaves a permanent hole filled only with grief, but we want to provide some financial relief in this very difficult time for Samantha so she can focus on emotionally healing from this inexplicable loss with her family. In the spirit of all that Benjamin provided for his family, day in and day out, we want to bring our community together in hopes to raise funds to financially support Samantha through this very immediate struggle. If you find it in your heart, your grace will be forever held dear to Samantha and her family.
