Melissa has baby gear right now. She needs What Is On This List.
She WILL need clothes in the future,
So if you do have clothes that her son or the girls can grow into for example, 6 months from now,
I’m asking if you have room to store them for awhile, please do. If not, everyone understands, and we’ll cross that bridge when we come to it. The FOP Lodge doesn’t have a lot of room right now to store things. Perhaps that will change. Everyone is getting organized; Melissa has just arrived home from the hospital healthy!

As many around the DC Area know, we lost an officer a few months back…
His widow, Melissa Ayala has just given birth to TRIPLETS!
The good news is that she and the triplets are healthy.
Doctors, however, were unable to determine the gender of the babies before she gave birth- so now she has 3 BABY GIRLS
And only some… girl clothes…
Donations are starting to come in but she needs more
gently used clothes and diapers!!
So, I’m asking for help!
If you have any girl ‘stuff’ to spare- newborn- 6 months,
Please leave a comment below and you’ll be added to an email list to get updates on what Mrs. Ayala needs!
She also has a 17 month old son, so keep that in mind too!

Graco and DC Metro Moms Donate 3 Car Seats to Fallen Officer’s Widow Expecting Triplets
It was my pleasure, on behalf of Graco and DC Metro Moms, to give the Montgomery County Police 3 brand new Graco car seats for Melissa Ayala, widow of Officer Hector Ayala, who died in the line of duty in April.
A Police Officer, who was also a dear friend of Hector Ayala, came to my home to pick them up and he also gave me some information to tell everyone in our community and beyond.
Melissa is doing as well as can be expected, and will most likely give birth this week. She and the babies are healthy, although she is in pain and discomfort (but we all know as mothers, that being pregnant with triplets cannot be easy).
I also learned that the gender of the babies is unknown, it’s been too hard to tell…
Yeah, I know. I swallowed hard learning that. Not only is this woman giving birth to triplets IMMINENTLY- without her husband- she doesn’t know any of their genders…
The Officer added that she is receiving baby stuff right now but he worries,
“When they’re 6 months…”
“When they’re 1…”
“When they’re 2…”
Okay. So this is tough…
THIS IS WHAT WE CAN DO RIGHT NOW.
- Melissa already has a 14 month old son, so she does have some boy stuff.
SHE HAS NO GIRL STUFF OR CLOTHES. We’ll know this week if she needs any girl stuff. I’ll let you know.
- If you have any baby or toddler toys, accessories, clothes, etc. that you were planning to give away, please consider putting them away for now, and giving them to the Ayala family.
- Please leave a comment if you want to be informed and/or involved in helping with donations to Mrs. Ayala and her triplets, and her son. I will save everyone’s email and periodically ask for specific things that she needs. The Montgomery County Police are contacting me when she has a need for something.
Also, if you have any contacts or relationships with companies that may be willing to donate their products to the triplets, please leave a comment and let me know.
Thank you for your kind thoughts and prayers for the triplets, they have been passed on and it is a great comfort that the brand new car seats are ready for them. They will be safe when they are taken home from the hospital.
This all came to pass basically through tweets; our online community is strong. Let’s use our community to continue to help this mother.
Thank You for your kindness.
Helping Police Widow Expecting Triplets
Less than a month ago I wrote this post about a mother who is now a widow.
Melissa Ayala lost her husband, a Montgomery County Police Officer, last month and is expecting triplets next month.
She has now registered at Buy Buy Baby.
And you can view her registry directly here.
The wonderful people at Graco are donating
3 car seats to Melissa for her triplets
on behalf of Graco and DC Metro Moms!
Let’s work together to help this mom out,
Please consider getting her something from her registry.
Peace.
Montgomery County Police Officer Dead; Widow is Expecting Triplets in June and Has a 14-month-old son
Last Friday I headed to Home Depot for track lighting. My son was happy, at camp.
Traffic was stopped at the big intersection of Georgia and Connecticut Avenues.
‘What could be happening?’ I thought…
And then I saw a Huge Motorcade of Police Motorcycles, and then Police Cars… I’ve never seen a Funeral Motorcade that long, and unfortunately, I’ve seen a lot of funeral motorcades.
‘O God, it’s a Cop.’ I thought.
It was a police officer’s funeral procession. It was the funeral procession for Hector Ayala, who died in a car crash while responding to a fellow officer’s call for assistance for a fight in progress…
…on Easter Morning.
I learned later that day that Sergeant Ayala’s widow, Melissa, has a 14-month-old son,
and is expecting triplets… in June.
And then I thought about her,
and it knocked the wind out of me. It was like I had been punched, but no one was there. I had trouble breathing for a moment, and then had to take a few, slow, deep breaths.
