UPDATE (2/16/26):

We are truly touched and beyond grateful for all of the support. Your kindness helped us reach our $7,000 goal (and even a little more) in such a short time. Thank you from the deepest part of our hearts for every donation, share, prayer, and message. This support means the world to George and Hei Ler as they grieve their beautiful baby boy.

We’ll keep the fundraiser open a bit longer in case any unexpected costs come up. If you’d like to contribute, it’s still welcome but no pressure at all. Your generosity has already been a huge light for us all.

Thank you again- we’ll never forget your kindness during this time.

With so much gratitude,

The Vang Family ❤️

Dear family and friends,

It is with deep sadness that we share the passing of our beloved 5-month-old nephew, Levi, on February 11, 2026.

Levi was born with hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS), a rare congenital heart defect where the left side of the heart is underdeveloped and cannot pump blood effectively to the body. In his short time with us, his gentle presence, tiny smiles, and quiet strength brought incredible joy to our entire family.

To honor Levi with a meaningful farewell, we are facing the costs of his funeral and arrangements. We’ve set up this GoFundMe to help cover those expenses so his parents can focus on grieving and cherishing his memory without added financial worry.

Any support you can offer, whether a donation or sharing this page, would mean the world to us.

If you’d prefer to contribute directly via Zelle or PayPal (which may avoid platform fees), you may do so at:

PayPal: [email redacted]

Thank you for your love, prayers, and kindness during this heartbreaking time.

With heartfelt gratitude,

The Vang Family
