Our dear friend, Erica (Ellsworth) Farinella, is facing the unimaginable — the sudden and unexpected loss of her husband, Tony. In an instant, Erica’s life changed forever. She is now navigating the heartbreak of saying goodbye while finding the strength to care for their two children, Jack (18) and Lauren (16).

Erica’s husband’s passing has left an emotional and financial void that is overwhelming. Along with the unbearable grief, Erica is now facing the heavy burden of funeral and burial expenses, as well as the ongoing costs of supporting her children through this difficult time.

Jack is just beginning his journey to collage, and Lauren is still in high school. Erica’s priority is to keep their home stable, ensure the kids’ needs are met, and give them the space to heal.

We are asking for your help to ease this financial strain. Your generosity will go toward:

• Funeral and burial costs

• Household bills and living expenses

• Supporting Jack and Lauren as they navigate school, college plans, and daily life without their father

Every contribution, no matter the size, will help Erica focus on her family instead of financial stress. If you are unable to give, sharing this campaign means the world to them.

Thank you for your kindness, prayers, and support.
