As the trial for Massachusetts mother Lindsay Clancy enters week four, funds are pouring in for her parents who have supported their daughter who is accused of killing all three of her children.
Clancy admitted to strangling to death her three children, Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, who was just 8 months old. She’s facing three counts of first-degree murder.
Her defense team argues Clancy is not criminally responsible because she was suffering from postpartum psychosis, among other mental illnesses, made worse by the numerous medications she was prescribed, during the time of the killings.

Funds for the Musgrove family, Clancy’s mother and father Paula and Mike Musgrove, have surpassed $830,000 with an end goal of $2 million. The fund appears to have been created six days ago.

“Nothing about this fund asks anyone to share their view of Lindsay or the criminal case. It asks donors to recognize the extraordinary financial burden her parents have carried simply by continuing to be present,” the page said.
Donors from around the world have contributed to the staggering fund, including one donor who said, “Sending love from Belize, Central America,” another who said, “Sending love from Australia,” and another from the U.K. who said “Sending support,” among tens of thousands more.

“The case will eventually reach its conclusion. Whatever that outcome is, Mike and Paula will still have to pick up the pieces of the lives they have put on hold to be there for their daughter. They should not have to face that future without the financial foundation they spent decades building.”
