In the early hours of the morning on July 1, 2019, the Melecio/Alicea family's home caught fire and burned down. They were in the house asleep at the time, but thankfully were able to make it out in time. Tragically, they’ve lost everything including their beloved dog, Leo. 

We are asking for donations to help ease the burden as this family prepares to move into a new home and get ready for the incoming school year. Jacob, will begin his sophomore year at MBA; while his sister, Yomaris (MBA ‘19) and brother, Bryan (MBA ‘18) start classes in the fall at their respective colleges. 

Anything you can contribute is appreciated. If you are interested in making additional donations please get in touch with Marcia DeSalvo via [email redacted]
