A Light Gone Too Soon: Supporting Kunnakattumalayil Family Through Heartbreak and Healing

The unexpected death of a child is an unimaginable loss that no one could be prepared for. The depths of grief that results from such a loss are beyond our comprehension. It transcends mere mortality; it feels as though time halts for you while the rest of the world continues to move forward.




Beautiful she was and loved by all who got to meet her. The joy Jacinta brought to our lives cannot be described in words but is undoubtedly felt in all of our hearts.

On Tuesday, December 19th 2023, a tragic and sudden car accident occurred, where beautiful and brave Jacinta at only 1 years old grew her little angel wings and was taken into the heavenly kingdom. Shattering everyone’s hearts and crushing Roger and Chinnu’s world in a blink of an eye.



Along with Jacinta in the car was her mother, Chinnu, and brother, Johan. While Johan sustained minor injuries, Chinnu had to undergo major surgery to address her fractured leg. Her journey towards recovery will be lengthy and challenging, with months of medical care and rehabilitation lying ahead of her.

Struggling with their profound loss and Chinnu’s recovery, the family confronts a daunting financial challenge. With no immediate return to work possible, the weight of medical expenses, household expenses and the responsibility of caring for the other two children (Jophiel and Johan), this is where we, as a community, come in. We can not bring back Jacinta or erase Roger and Chinnu’s pain, but we can lend a hand in alleviating some of the financial burden that threatens to drown them in these darkest hours.

Your contribution, big or small, will serve as a ray of hope for the Kunnakattumalayil Family. It will:

  • Help cover funeral expenses for Jacinta
  • Help cover medical bills and rehabilitation costs for Chinnu.
  • Ease the burden of daily expenses while they navigate their loss and recovery.
  • Allow them to focus on healing and grieving without the added stress of financial hardship.

Kindly contribute what you’re able to and spread the word about this campaign. Every bit counts and every act of kindness whispers a message of hope in the face of unimaginable grief.

Let's stand with the Kunnakattumalayil family during their darkest hour. Let's shower them with the love and support they need to rebuild their lives, one step at a time.

In loving memory of Jacinta Roger.

Thank you for your compassion and Consideration.

Sincerely,
St. Mary's Knanaya Catholic Church- Rockland, New York
