On Saturday, May 24th, my best friend’s son, Xzavien O. Santiago, passed away after a brave battle with leukemia. He was only 9 years old.

Xzavien fought with a strength and courage far beyond his years. Even in the hardest moments, he never lost his smile, his spark, or his incredible ability to bring joy to everyone around him. He was full of life, love, and laughter. His light will live on in all of us who were lucky enough to know him.

Now, his family is facing the unimaginable: planning a funeral for their little boy. We are raising funds to help cover the funeral costs and ease some of the financial burden during this deeply painful time. No family should have to carry this weight alone.

Please help us give Xzavien the farewell he deserves and surround his family with love and support as they grieve this heartbreaking loss.

Any amount you can give truly helps. And if you're not able to donate, we ask that you share this page and keep the Santiago family in your prayers.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
