“Mom, Dad Didn’t Come Back” — The 2 Children Left Behind After a Vacation Turned Tragedy -This morning, rescue workers confirmed the unthinkable: the bodies of Robert and Melissa Kamin were found in the wreckage of their rental cabin at HTR TX Hill RV Resort, crushed beneath collapsed wood and twisted metal after days of relentless floodwaters

On July 4, 2025, our dear friend Melissa Kamin and her husband Rob were tragically taken from us during the devastating floods that swept through Texas. While our grief is immense, this campaign is focused on honoring Melissa’s memory and helping care for the two children she loved so deeply.

Melissa was a vibrant light in the lives of everyone who knew her. She had a heart full of kindness and a quick wit that made us laugh even in hard times. She was a mother, daughter, sister, and friend whose presence brought warmth and strength to everyone around her.

Many have reached out asking how they can help. This fundraiser is one way to do just that. In the wake of this tragedy, her children are left not only with the pain of losing their mother, but also with the uncertainty of what comes next. As a community, we want to rally around them and show them the love and care that Melissa showed to us throughout her life. With your support, we can ease the weight of what comes next and show them they are not alone.

No gift is too small. If you’re unable to donate, please continue to pray for the family and consider sharing this campaign to help us reach others who may feel called to help.

About the Organizer

My name is Haley Cassidy, and I’m a longtime friend of Melissa’s currently living in Belgrade, Montana. I started this fundraiser with the blessing of her loved ones to help support her children through this incredibly difficult time. All funds raised will go directly to Melissa’s mother, who will manage the distribution to the children to help meet both immediate and future needs.

Thank you for standing with this family in love, grief, and hope.
