Amanda & Michael's Expenses After Tragic Loss

On March 2, 2023, the Heintschel/Fisher/Amado/Stacy family suffered an unimaginable tragedy when they lost two children, Charlie (age 7) and Joel (age 5) to a terrible car accident. They left behind a large grieving family which includes their mother, Amanda Fisher-Naranjo, older brother, Michael Amado (age 15), and their grandparents, Charles and Karen Heintschel. They are also survived by their Aunt Krista Zoller, cousin Chloe Zoller, Uncle Jaden Heintschel, cousins, great-grandparents, great-aunts and uncles, and many more.

Charlie was full of life and personality from the second he was born. He kept us all on our toes (especially when he was running through the house at 9-months old) and continued to amaze us with his athletic abilities and talent in everything he did. Joel was born with the sweetest, most innocent heart. He was the definition of love from the moment we laid eyes on him, and was so confident in being his beautiful, unique self. Both boys were blessed to have the most amazing mother and older brother to support them in everything they did. Amanda is the type of mother every child deserves; she loves all of her boys with her whole heart, and genuinely wanted to be involved in every aspect of their lives, including a large involvement in their youth sports. Michael was a dedicated, loving role model to his brothers and always put them first. The loss that Amanda, Michael, and the entire family are enduring is lifelong.

Amanda’s friends have started another GoFundMe for funeral services; this GoFundMe is for continued support for Amanda and Michael’s living expenses, and other costs that arise as the family tries to heal as best they can through this tragedy, including funeral costs, service expenses, and the celebration of life. Thank you for all your love, prayers, stories and donations. The family truly appreciates and is so grateful for all the support.
