Honoring Josefina by Caring for Her Children

On Tuesday, September 30th, around 6 p.m., our beloved Josefina Tavares’s life was tragically cut short by her deranged partner. She was a devoted mother, daughter, and friend whose love and light touched everyone who knew her.

Josefina leaves behind three beautiful children: her 18-year-old son, her 11-year-old boy, and her 8-year-old little girl. Heartbreakingly, her two youngest children witnessed this tragedy alongside their grandmother, leaving them deeply traumatized.

Her children’s father, Junior de Jesus Peña, is now stepping up with courage and strength to raise them and give them the love and stability they need. While he is committed to embracing this responsibility, the sudden burden of funeral expenses and the costs of raising two young children is overwhelming.

We are asking for your support to help cover Josefina’s funeral costs and to ensure her children have what they need in this difficult journey—counseling, clothing, school supplies, and the security of a safe home filled with love.

No donation is too small. Every gift, every share, every prayer matters. Together, we can honor Josefina’s memory by surrounding her children with the compassion, stability, and care they need as they begin to heal
