Influencer Melissa Mae Carlton allowed members of her inner circle to create a fundraising campaign to cover her medical and funeral bills after her daughter Molly's death. "I have to also say thank you as I know there are a couple of fundraisers getting passed around for us," Melissa wrote via her Instagram Stories on Saturday, December 27, referring to husband Tom Carlton and their family. "We were asked last time if we would like one set up, but we said no because [we] did not need the help." Melissa and Tom's daughter Abigail died at age 9 in April 2024.
