On behalf of Maria Banda and her beautiful five children, we are heartbroken to share that Maria’s husband, Tony, passed away suddenly on August 19th from a heart attack.

Tony was a devoted husband and a loving father who worked tirelessly to provide for his family. His unexpected passing has left Maria and their children facing an unimaginable loss, both emotionally and financially.

To make this even harder, their 15-year-old son, Antonio, is currently battling Stage 4 Lupus Nephritis—a serious autoimmune disease that requires intensive and ongoing medical care.

This has all been devastating and so unexpected for Maria and her family. Let’s come together to support Maria during this time and help ease the heavy burden she now carries.

All funds raised will go directly to Maria and her children to help with funeral expenses, medical bills, and daily living costs in the weeks and months ahead.

Any amount you are able to contribute will make a difference. If you’re unable to donate, please consider sharing this page to help us reach others who may be able to help.

Let’s show the Banda family they are not alone. Thank you for your compassion, generosity, and love. Please Keep the Banda family in your prayers.
