Hello, my name is Debbie Mantelli and I am setting up this GoFundMe for my son, Mackenzie Mantelli, to help him keep his house and vehicle and support his 2 girls, ages 7 and 8, that he has sole custody of. This is to help Mackenzie try to recover from the worse experience in any of our lives, nothing about a false accusation is cheap, from what he paid in legal fees to what toll it took to remain strong for his children to always keep them smiling all to prove he is a good man and father and not the nonster he was accused of being.

Our story starts on July 2, 2024, when Mackenzie's ex-girlfriend and 17-year-old daughter, who got angry because she couldn't get her way, decided to accuse Mackenzie of the most heinous crime a man can be accused of. (HE NEVER DID THIS.) He was found not guilty of all charges by a jury panel of 9 women and 3 men. The trial took 6 days and was a nightmare that no one should ever have to live through.

Mackenzie worked for the Catholic Church maintaining cemeteries. He loved his job and the people he worked for. Unfortunately, the charges caused him to lose his job and he is unable to draw unemployment. His family has not only been supportive of him but has also assisted financially as much as we can. He is actively looking to get his job back, but it will take time and several appointments. Meanwhile, he is getting further behind. If you can feel it in your heart to donate any amount, if not, will you please say a prayer for my son and his girls.
