Alanna and Francisco have been faced with every parent’s worst nightmare and are carrying the cross of burying their child.

Late on Sunday night, June 22, their little boy, Matheo, passed away in his beautiful Mama’s arms. Matheo had just celebrated his 4th birthday earlier this month. Matheo is survived by his three older sisters and younger baby brother.

Alanna and Francisco are one of the most beautiful couples I know - not only unconditionally devoted to their children, but also generously having opened their home and hearts to many foster babies over the years. They truly live a Christ-centered life and pour out their love unto those around them.

Let us unite as a global community and help them out during this time of unimaginable loss in helping to cover funeral expenses and any other immediate needs their family may have.

Please keep the Gomez family and extended family in your prayers.
