Franklin Sousa-Filho was full of life, joy, dreams, and authenticity. Known for his radiant smile, kind heart, and unforgettable energy, Franklin had a way of making everyone feel welcome, valued, and happy just by being himself. Though his time with us was far too short, the memories he created and the love he shared will remain forever in the hearts of his family and friends. He will be deeply missed, eternally loved, and never forgotten. The world is quieter without him—forever loved, forever 21. Smart, fast, sharp, and unforgettable—that was Franklin.

Franklin passed away unexpectedly, leaving his family and friends heartbroken. His parents are now facing the unimaginable task of saying goodbye to their child and need support to give him a proper burial. The funds raised will help Franklin’s parents cover funeral costs and related expenses during this incredibly difficult time.

Any support you can give will help Franklin’s family honor his memory and ease their financial burden. Please consider donating or sharing this fundraiser to help them through this loss. Your kindness and generosity will make a meaningful difference for a family in need.

This fundraiser is being ran by Natalie Coppola, Mother of Franklin’s Godson, Grayson. The fundraiser donations will be given to Franklin’s Mother, Gislainy, after a week of collections. Please share and donate during this time to ensure that we get as close to our goal as we can!
