Honoring Baby Ace Mateo - Support for the Mateo Family

Dear friends, family, and compassionate strangers,

It is with a heavy heart that we come to you today to share the devastating news of the passing of our beloved baby boy, Ace Mateo. On Monday July 18th, Ace's bright spirit left us far too soon, leaving his parents, Devonte and Joey May, shattered by grief and sorrow.

Ace Mateo was a beacon of joy and hope during his short time with us. He brought an immeasurable amount of happiness and love to everyone who had the privilege of knowing him. Devonte and Joey were overjoyed when they became parents, but their joy was tragically cut short. They had so many dreams and aspirations for their little one, but now they face an unbearable loss that no parent should ever endure.

As we gather together to honor Ace's memory, we seek your support and kindness to help ease the financial burden that comes with organizing a funeral for such a precious soul. The suddenness of this heartbreaking event has left the Mateo Family unprepared for the overwhelming costs associated with laying their beloved Ace to rest.

We are reaching out to our extended community, near and far, to contribute whatever they can to give Ace Mateo the farewell he deserves. Every donation, no matter the size, will make a meaningful difference in supporting the Mateo Family during this heartbreaking time. Your generosity will not only provide financial assistance but also offer them the comfort of knowing that they are surrounded by caring individuals.

How You Can Help:

1. Make a Donation: Any amount you can contribute will be deeply appreciated and put to immediate use to cover the funeral expenses and other related costs. Every little bit helps, and your contribution will go a long way in supporting the grieving parents.

2. Share this Campaign: Even if you are unable to donate, sharing this GoFundMe campaign with your network will help us reach more people who may be able to assist. Your voice can help us create a stronger support system for the Mateo Family.

3. Offer Your Prayers and Condolences: Your emotional support and kind words mean a lot to Devonte and Joey during this incredibly challenging time. Share your memories of Ace and let them know they are not alone in their grief.

During times like this, we understand that there are no words that can truly comfort those who are mourning the loss of a child. However, we hope that our collective efforts can at least alleviate some of the financial stress, allowing Devonte and Joey to focus on healing and cherishing the memories of their beloved Ace Mateo.

On behalf of the Matthews Family, we thank you for your kindness, generosity, and compassion during this heart-wrenching moment. Together, let us honor Baby Ace's memory and show unwavering support for his parents as they navigate through this difficult chapter.

With deepest gratitude,

Laurell Tibbs and the Supportive Community
