We are reaching out on behalf of our dear friend, Amanda, who has experienced more heartbreak than anyone should ever have to endure.

As many of you may know, Amanda married the love of her life, Zac, two years ago. Tragically, while pregnant with their first child together, she suffered the devastating and unexpected loss of her husband. Despite the immense grief she carried, Amanda found strength, hope, and purpose in becoming a mother and devoted herself to raising their beautiful daughter.

On April 10, 2025, Nova Amera Boccia was born. She was a bright light during one of the darkest times in Amanda's life and brought immeasurable joy to everyone around her. Nova was a beautiful, happy little girl whose smile could light up a room. Her sweet spirit, loving nature, and joyful presence touched countless hearts in her short but meaningful life. She was deeply loved and brought happiness to all who had the privilege of knowing her.

Tragically, on May 27, 2026, Nova was taken far too soon at just 13 months old. The loss of a child is every parent's worst nightmare, and for Amanda, this unimaginable tragedy comes after already enduring the heartbreaking loss of her husband. The pain of losing both her husband and daughter is beyond words, and the impact of this loss has been felt by family, friends, and all who loved Nova.

As Amanda faces the overwhelming grief of losing her precious daughter, she is also doing everything she can to remain strong for her son, Steven (SJ), as they both navigate this heartbreaking loss together. While mourning Nova and carrying the loss of Zac in her heart, Amanda is trying to find a way forward for herself and her son through an unimaginable journey of grief.

We are asking for support to help ease the financial burdens that come with this devastating tragedy. Donations will help with funeral and memorial expenses, legal fees, time away from work, and other unexpected costs as Amanda takes the time she needs to grieve, heal, and be present for Steven during this difficult time.

Most importantly, we want Amanda, SJ, and their family to know they are surrounded by love, support, and a community that cares deeply for them. If you are able to donate, any amount is sincerely appreciated. If you are unable to contribute financially, please consider sharing this fundraiser and keeping Amanda, SJ, and their loved ones in your thoughts and prayers.

Thank you for helping us honor Nova's memory, remember Zac's legacy, and support Amanda and SJ during this incredibly difficult time. Nova's beautiful life, though far too short, will never be forgotten, and her memory will live on in the hearts of all who loved her. ❤️
