Hi, my name is Mariel, and I’m creating this fundraiser on behalf of my brother, Leonardo, and his girlfriend, Kathleen.

Right now, our family is going through something incredibly painful. We recently lost their beautiful baby girl, Katrise Leona, and it’s a loss that has completely shaken all of us. As they are trying to process this heartbreak, I’ve stepped in to help with arrangements and to support them in any way I can.

No parent should ever have to go through this kind of loss. Katrise Leona was deeply loved from the very beginning, and even though her time with us was short, she will always be a part of our family.

We are asking for help to cover funeral and memorial expenses, which are expected to be around $6,000. This has been an emotional and overwhelming process, and any support would mean so much to our family during this time.

Every donation, no matter the amount, will go directly toward honoring Katrise Leona with a beautiful and respectful service. If you are unable to donate, we completely understand—sharing this page, prayers, and kind thoughts mean just as much.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your love, support, and compassion.
