Fundraiser started for daughter of woman killed, allegedly by husband, at UMass Amherst

""Every contribution will help ease the burden on Emma's family and give Sadie a chance at a brighter future," the campaign description reads."

""Even though we only met in person once, she became one of my closest friends. That kind of connection is rare, and I feel so lucky to have had it.""

""I miss her more than I can put into words. It's still so hard not to reach for my phone and text her," the organizer added."

A fundraiser has been initiated to support 10-year-old Sadie, whose mother, Emma MacDonald, was allegedly murdered by her husband, Jeffrey MacDonald. Over $19,000 has been raised, reaching about 70% of the goal. The funds will be directed to Sadie's grandparents for counseling and future security. Both parents worked at UMass Amherst, and Jeffrey MacDonald has pleaded not guilty. The campaign aims to ease the burden on Emma's family and provide a brighter future for Sadie.
