Funeral Expenses /Financial Support

The family is continuing to grieve considerably and coming to the realization that the children are not coming home. A private visitation will be held this week for immediate family. There will be a funeral mass held on Saturday, June 23rd at St. James Catholic Cathedral Church (215 N Orange Ave, Orlando, FL 32801) in downtown Orlando at 12 noon to honor the lives of the children. This will be open to the public, to offer their prayers and condolences. But please understand that parking and space will be limited. We are forever grateful for your outpouring of support for Ciara, and invite you to share in this day with us, celebrating the lives of these beautiful children.

We have been getting a lot of inquiries about whether there will be an opportunity for the public to come and pay their respects to the children lost in this terrible tragedy. I can tell you that we will have an update for you on Monday, June 18 regarding the same on our firm’s website https://www.777injury.com and on the GoFundMe page.

Thank you again for your support. It is truly overwhelming the donations that have come in and the outpouring of support for Ciara and her precious children taken too soon.

I am so grateful for the outpouring of support for the mother of these precious children, taken far too soon. Our financial goal for the GoFundMe campaign has been exceeded by nearly $10,000-- thanks to your support and generous donations. All of the money will go directly to the mother to pay for funeral expenses, grief counseling, and to help her get back on her feet. We will continue to update you – and thank you, again for your support. The GoFundMe account is still open. Please continue to share and help us spread the word. Additional updates will be provided at https://www.777injury.com/.

** Some donors have asked if me or my law firm will be receiving a portion of the GoFundMe campaign donations as attorneys' fees, and I can tell you that not one cent will go to me or my law firm. I am doing this solely for Ciara and the family. Her father (the children's grandfather) is a dear friend of our's, and our building maintenance contractor.**
