We are the Gallardo’s and

Our hearts are shattered as we share the most painful news a family can experience. At just 31 weeks pregnant, our beautiful baby girl, Aritzel Gallardo, stopped breathing before we ever had the chance to hold her in our arms.

Aritzel was deeply loved from the moment her parents found out they were expecting her. Every kick, every ultrasound, every tiny heartbeat was a reminder of the joy and future they were preparing for. She was their miracle, their first thought every morning, and their dream for the future.

But on a day that was supposed to bring excitement and anticipation, their world was turned upside down. Doctors could no longer find her heartbeat, and the unimaginable became reality. They had to endure labor, delivery, and goodbye—all in the same heartbreaking moment.

Now this young husband and wife are facing the emotional and financial weight of something no family prepares for:

funeral arrangements, medical expenses, time away from work, and the long, painful journey of healing.

They are devastated, overwhelmed, and doing their best to stay strong for each other as they grieve their sweet daughter.

We are creating this GoFundMe to help lift even a small part of their burden during the darkest chapter of their lives. No parent should ever have to choose between mourning their child and worrying about bills. Every donation—no matter the size—will help them cover:

• Funeral and memorial costs for baby Aritzel

• Medical bills related to the pregnancy and delivery

• Lost income and time needed to heal emotionally

If you’re unable to donate, please consider sharing this page. Your prayers, love, and support mean more than words can express.

Baby Aritzel may not have taken a breath on this earth, but she changed her parents’ lives forever. She will always be remembered, always loved, and always their daughter.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for being part of their support system during this unimaginable loss.
