On Saturday evening, May 13th, Marsha's world was shattered unexpectedly with the sudden and tragic loss of her husband, Daniel McCoy. Marsha has spent her lifetime supporting and loving others, from orphaned and vulnerable children, to youth trying to navigate life, to friends, family, neighbors, and anyone she met along the way. She is a true servant-hearted woman who loves the Lord with everything she does and everything she is. Now it's our turn to surround her with love and support. We are all deeply grieving the sudden loss of Daniel, who was a wonderful man full of joy, who deeply loved the Lord, Marsha, his kids, Zelda, and his family and friends. He shared his love of Jesus with everyone in many ways through music, writing, dad jokes, aviation, and more. We know that he is with Jesus now, but our hearts ache for Marsha and this unexpected loss. We know that the Lord hears and feels her pain deeply, and we are grateful for the hope we have in His promises that He will wipe away every tear from our eyes one day when we are fully reunited with Him. We as a team at Bless the Children Ministries want to wrap our loving arms and support Marsha in every way possible, and invite you to join us in loving her. We have created this fundraiser to give Marsha's army the chance to love and support her financially as she navigates the coming days and months ahead. We desire to remove as much of the burden from her shoulders as we are able, allowing her the time and space to grieve without the added stress of making payments or paying bills.
