Fundraiser For Family Of Girl Who Drowned At Morris County Park Just Shy of Goal

Sienna Maloney drowned on July 11 at Pequannock Valley Park. She was only three. For her parents, Denise and Scott Maloney, it is hard not to feel some of what must be an unfathomable amount of grief and pain.

On July 14, family friend, Jennifer Carroll Martinez, launched a Go Fund Me page with the intention of raising enough money to help the Maloneys avoid the financial burden of medical bills and funeral arrangements.

"I hope this will act as a means of support to help them deal with the tragic loss of their baby girl, Sienna, who was 3 years old when she passed on July 11, 2016," Martinez wrote on the Go Fund Me page.

In 11 days, the fundraiser has raised $36,410 of its $37,000 goal. And while no amount of money can provide relief after the loss of a child, the outpouring of support and compassion from the community helps.

The fundraiser is currently live and still accepting donations on behalf of the Maloney family: www.GoFundMe.com/SweetSienna
