Help Support the Loved Ones of the Stolyar, Blyudoy, Azizov and Ioffe Families
Our hearts are shattered as we try to process an unimaginable tragedy. In an act of devastating violence, five members of one family were taken from this world:
- Ben Azizov — a joyful son and grandson whole life had only just begun
- Larisa Blyudaya — a daughter, sister, and deeply loving mother
- Stan Blyudoy — a cherished son, brother, and fiancée with his whole life ahead of him
- Florita Stolyar — a devoted mother, wife, and heart of her family
- Anatoly Ioffe — a loving father, stepfather, and steady presence
They were not just names in a headline. They were loving parents, devoted parents, cherished children, and dear friends. Their loss leaves an unfillable space in the hearts of everyone who knew them.
Left behind in the wake of this heartbreak are:
- Eve, the daughter of Larisa and sister of Ben
- Eldar, the father of Ben
- Leslie, fiancée to Stan
In a single moment, they lost parents, siblings, partners, and their lives have been changed forever in the most painful way imaginable. No one should have to navigate this kind of loss, let alone face the financial and practical burdens that follow such a tragedy.
Why We Are Raising Funds
In addition to overwhelming grief, Eve, Eldar, and Leslie are now facing:
- Funeral and memorial expenses
- Immediate living and travel costs
- Trauma and grief counseling
- Legal and administrative expenses
- Ongoing support as they begin to rebuild their lives after this loss
This fundraiser is meant to remove as much financial stress as possible, so they can focus on grieving, healing, and simply getting through each day. All funds will be distributed to the family.
How Your Support Helps
Every contribution, no matter the size, will go directly toward supporting Eve, Eldar, and Leslie with:
- Honoring the lives of Ben, Larisa, Stan, Florita, and Anatoly
- Covering immediate and near-term expenses
- Access to grief and trauma support
- Basic stability during an incredibly uncertain and painful time

These were beautiful, real people who were loved fiercely. They deserved long lives with everyone that loved them so dearly. If you knew any of them, or if you’re moved to do so, please consider leaving a message, memory, or kind word. Love and community matter more than ever right now.
