On December 23, 2025, our family experienced a loss that changed our lives forever. Our beloved brother and son, Michael, passed away at just 24 years old, leaving behind his beautiful 3-year-old daughter. He was so young, with so much life ahead of him, and being her father was one of his greatest joys. She is a bright, joyful little girl who brought him immense pride and purpose, and now she carries his memory with her every day.

As her family, her aunts, grandmother, and uncle, we are coming together to surround her with as much love, stability, and care as we possibly can. While nothing can ever replace her father, we want to honor his life by ensuring his daughter continues to feel supported and cherished as she grows.

We are raising funds with two goals in mind. First, we hope to give her a truly special birthday this April, a day filled with joy, celebration, and the kind of happiness every child deserves. Second, we want to begin setting aside resources for her future, whether that be education, life experiences, or the unexpected needs that may come as she gets older.

We ask for help with humble hearts. Any contribution, no matter the size, means more than words can express. If you’re unable to give, sharing this fundraiser or keeping our family in your thoughts is just as appreciated. Thank you for helping us show her that she is never alone and that her father’s love lives on through all of us.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you.
