MV readers have expressed their grief and frustration over the weekend’s tragic death of Magnolia teen, Molly Conley.? Some have asked how they might help.? Molly’s parents released the following statement this afternoon:
?We loved Molly so very much.? She was a great girl, she loved her family, her friends, her school and she loved life. She loved her sister, her brother and her parents. She was from a large family, including the Conroy?s of Seattle and the Conley?s of Spokane.???She loved to smile?she gave smiles? she had a generous spirit,? said Molly?s mom Susan Arksey. Molly and her mom started an organization called ?Mother?s Helper.? It is an organization Molly named, which helps mothers with babies who have just arrived in domestic violence shelters in Seattle.The shelters make contact with a list of what they need ? such as diapers, formula, and clothing? – for specific babies coming in and they would deliver the items as needed.? Molly named this cause Mother?s Helper because as she maintained, who needs help more than a woman in that tough situation…?
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made at Bank of America to Mary Clare (Molly) Conley with Mother?s Helper in the subject line.
