For those who may not know, Ella’s partner was tragically shot and killed on January 3rd, 2026 in a senseless act of violence early yesterday morning. They were just six weeks away from welcoming their baby boy, and this year was filled with so many hopes and dreams for the two of them.
Ella has already endured a difficult pregnancy and, because of that, has only been able to work part-time. First and foremost, we ask that you please keep her in your prayers. She is completely shattered, and her world has been turned upside down.
Secondly, she is facing financial hardship during this unimaginable time. Due to the lack of hours and going on maternity leave without compensation there is a financial support page that has been created for her to be able to survive and care for all of the needs of herself and her baby. Any contribution, no matter how small, would be deeply appreciated and helpful. If you are unable to donate we ask that you please just share this page and her story.
We are incredibly grateful for the outpouring of love, messages, and calls. Please continue to surround Ella with that love in the coming months as she prepares to bring this precious life into the world without her partner by her side. 💔🙏🏼
