Honoring Siju: Support His Family's Journey

Dear Friends and Family,

It is with heavy hearts that we share the devastating news of the passing of our beloved friend, Siju Maliakkal, who was 45 years old. Siju fought bravely against cancer for the last 10 years, always maintaining hope for recovery. Throughout his journey, he endured countless rounds of chemotherapy,

trial medications, and spent extensive time in specialized hospitals in recent years. Siju is survived by his wife, Jancy Joseph, and two children, Aaron Raphel Maliakkal (13) and Benjamin Joseph Maliakkal (11),with one of the children having special needs.

As we come to terms with Siju's loss, we are faced with the daunting task of covering the expenses associated with his passing. Funeral costs, memorial arrangements, and other medical/unforeseen expenses on his family and loved ones during this already difficult time. Any remaining money will be directed towards the future needs of his two children, including the specialized care required for his child with special needs.

Siju touched the lives of many with his infectious laughter, unwavering kindness, and boundless love. Now, it is our opportunity to come together as a community and honor Siju's memory by easing the financial strain on his family.

That's why we have created this GoFundMe campaign. Our goal is to raise $250,000 to cover the expenses associated with Siju's passing. Any contribution, no matter how small, will make a meaningful difference and help alleviate the financial burden on his family during this challenging time.

We understand that not everyone is in a position to donate, but there are other ways you can help. Please consider sharing this campaign with your network and encouraging others to lend a helping hand.

Together, we can honor Siju’s memory and provide his family with the support and love they need during this difficult time. Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and unwavering support.

We will miss you, Siju.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Friends and Family
