In Memory of Baby Michael: Support Needed

In Loving Memory of Baby Michael Salvatore Hotting

Born March 11, 2025 · 6 lbs 10 oz

Returned to heaven Monday morning, April 21st—the morning after Easter

With hearts broken and spirits aching, I’m reaching out on behalf of my cousin, Danielle, and her family as they face the unimaginable loss of their precious baby boy, Michael Salvatore Hotting. Michael was born on March 11th, 2025, weighing 6 lbs 10 oz—a beautiful, perfect gift. Though his time on earth was short, Michael was so deeply loved and cherished every moment he was here.

He passed away unexpectedly Monday morning, April 21, just after Easter. The weight of this loss is indescribable, and we are doing all we can to surround his parents with love during this sacred and sorrowful time.

Now, as his family prepares to lay him to rest, we want to support them—not only emotionally and spiritually, but also practically. In addition to prayers and words of comfort, this GoFundMe is an opportunity to help raise money to support the family and their needs.

If you feel moved to contribute, know that every donation—no matter the amount—is a sacred gesture of love and support for a grieving family. And if you're unable to give financially, your prayers, kind words, and simply sharing this page privately are deeply appreciated.

Out of respect for Michael’s parents and to give them more time to grieve, we are not sharing this publicly. We ask that you honor their privacy and tender hearts as they begin to heal.

Thank you for standing with us in honoring the life and legacy of sweet Michael.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Amanda
