Friends Launch Fundraising Campaign to Support Grieving Mother Harassed Online After Tragic Loss of Baby

In a heart-wrenching incident, a 17-month-old baby girl named Taidyn Murphy, affectionately known as Totty, tragically drowned in a blow-up spa while her mother, Tahlia Murphy, was at work. This devastating loss has been compounded by the online torment Tahlia has faced in the aftermath. 

In a heart-wrenching turn of events, Totty's mother, Tahlia Murphy, was not present when the accident occurred. However, her hubsand Cecil Murphy and her children were at home to aid Totty. Without wasting a moment, Totty was swiftly transported to Brisbane Children's Hospital, where a dedicated team of medical professionals fought tirelessly to save her precious life. Despite their unwavering efforts, the unimaginable tragedy unfolded, and Totty's young life ultimately slipped away, leaving her mother Tahlia to hold her in her arms, overcome with grief and sorrow.

Adding to Tahlia's anguish, she has faced online harassment and blame, with individuals unfairly targeting her for the accident. Family friend Ashlea Hicks, who has witnessed Tahlia's devastation, expressed her concern and highlighted the immense toll this online torment has taken on Tahlia during an already overwhelming time. No parent should ever have to endure the indescribable pain of losing a child, let alone face such unwarranted criticism and blame.

In response to the heartbreaking situation, Ashlea Hicks has created a fundraising campaign on mycause to help raise funds for the Murphy family. The campaign aims to provide Tahlia and her family with the peace and comfort they deserve as they bid farewell to their precious daughter. The goal is set at $5,000, and any donations, no matter how small, will be greatly appreciated.

Totty, who brought immense joy and love to Thalia and Cecil's lives, was a radiant and loving baby girl. The mycause fundraising page seeks to raise funds for a holiday vacation for the Murphy family, allowing them to take a well-needed break from the recent hardships they have endured.
