Joseph and Maya have been sweethearts since they were 18 years old. They met in High School, and after high school, Joseph went to Marist University in New York, and Maya went off to George Washington University in D.C. Even through the distance, their love was hard-wired from the first time they set eyes on each other.

They finally came back from college to their hometown Branchville, NJ, to continue their next chapter together.

In 2019 they got engaged at the Natural History Museum in New York. They both have a love and passion for history, in which they complimented each other. They were each-other’s Yin and Yang.

They worked hard together to save and buy their first home. Their dream was to have their home, and then get married. They finally closed on their new home on July 19, 2023. They were excited to embark on the journey of creating their own family.

Tragically, this was ripped from them. On August 21, 2023, Joseph  our “Joe” was involved in a fatal accident at the young age of 32 years old.

This fund has been created to help Maya follow through on her and Joe’s dream.
