Hi everyone, my name is Matildelis, and I’m creating this GoFundMe with a heavy heart to support one of my dearest friends, Naioby, and her beautiful family of 5 after they tragically lost their home and all of their belongings in a fire.

Naioby and her entire family were born and raised in Newark, New Jersey, and they are still proud and active members of the Newark community today. She is married to her husband, Gabriel, and together they are raising their three amazing boys:

Jayden (17)

Ryan (9)

Landon (8)

This family has always been the type to show up for others, offering help, love, and support whenever someone is in need. They are a family rooted in faith, believing in our Lord and Savior, God, and they carry themselves with strength, humility, and kindness.

But today, they are the ones who need help.

The fire took everything—their home, clothing, furniture, food, personal items, school supplies, and all of the everyday necessities that a family needs just to live. They are starting over from scratch, and right now, any help, big or small, would mean more than words can explain.

What makes this even more heartbreaking is that this is supposed to be a special year for their family. Jayden is currently a senior at Arts High School, and this should be a joyful time filled with celebration, milestones, and excitement as he prepares for graduation in a couple of months and the next chapter of his life. Instead, this tragedy has turned their world upside down.

We are asking from the bottom of our hearts for any support you can offer.
