“HER CHILDREN WILL GROW UP WITHOUT THEIR MOM” — SUSAN WATFORD’S FAMILY LAUNCHES FUNDRAISER AS HER SISTER MAKES HEARTBREAKING PROMISE
A family is trying to rebuild some sense of stability for two children after the sudden dєatᩚh of Susan Watford. Now, a fundraiser for clothes and basic necessities is bringing attention to the heartbreaking challenges her children are facing — while their aunt makes a promise that Susan’s memory will never be forgotten.
In the aftermath of Susan Watford’s dєatᩚh aboard the MSC Seascape cruise ship, her loved ones are focusing on the two children who must now face life without their mother.
A GoFundMe campaign titled “Clothes and Shoes for Trey and Kristina” has been created to help provide the children with essential items.
According to the fundraiser, Trey and Kristina have been unable to return to their home because of the ongoing investigation. As a result, they cannot retrieve their clothing, shoes and other everyday necessities.
The campaign explains that donations will go toward helping the children obtain what they urgently need during this difficult period. The funds are being directed to their aunt, Mareeka Buford, who is caring for them.
Even ordinary things — getting dressed, having familiar belongings and maintaining a daily routine — have become additional challenges for the family.
A SISTER’S HEARTBREAKING TRIBUTE
Susan’s foster sister, Breana Chappell, has also shared an emotional tribute, remembering Susan as a beautiful person and a devoted mother whose children meant everything to her.
Speaking to FOX 26 Houston, Breana described the pain of knowing that Susan would never get to watch her children grow up.
She said she wanted Susan’s story to become more than another heartbreaking headline. Instead, she hopes the tᩚraɢedy will encourage people to recognize the realities of domestic violence and take warning signs seriously.
Her message was clear: control, fear and 𝘢bu𝘴e should never be mistaken for love.
Breana urged people to listen when someone says they are afraid, believe survivors and stop dismissing signs of 𝘢bu𝘴e. She also called for meaningful action to help prevent further tragedies.
“I WILL FIGHT FOR SUSAN”
Breana made a promise to keep speaking her sister’s name and demanding justice.
She wants Susan’s children to grow up surrounded by people who love them, knowing that their mother loved them deeply and that her memory will remain part of their lives.
The family is now facing grief alongside the practical challenges of caring for the children and navigating the investigation.
Susan’s husband, Jason Watford, has been charged with murder in connection with her dєatᩚh. The allegations remain subject to the criminal court process.
For those who loved Susan, the fundraiser represents more than a request for clothes and shoes. It is an effort to help two children regain some stability after losing the person who meant so much to them.
Their family cannot give them their mother back. But they are determined to make sure Trey and Kristina never have to question how deeply she loved them.
Susan’s voice, her memory and the love she gave her children will not be forgotten.
