Our lives changed overnight.

In the days and months that followed, we were met with an outpouring of love through family, friends, and community who showed up in ways we will never forget. That support carried us, especially in the earliest days when everything felt uncertain.

But what stayed with me most was what those first six months looked like—not just for me, but for our children. When a parent is grieving, children feel it too. And in that time, stability matters more than ever. The weight of loss is heavy enough without the added pressure of financial strain, unanswered questions, and navigating it all alone.

The Mock Family Foundation was created from that reality.

Because too often, support doesn’t arrive until later—when families have already spent months trying to hold everything together. We exist to help bridge that gap, offering short-term financial support in the first six months after the loss of a spouse or partner, so families can focus on what matters most: caring for their children and finding their footing again.

This is about showing up early.
About easing the immediate burden.
And about making sure no family has to navigate those first months alone.

The village you need, when it matters most.
