This GoFundMe page has been set up by Alejandro Samper and is dedicated solely to raising funds for the creation of a NOT-FOR-PROFIT organization aimed at transforming the Lapu-Lapu tragedy into making a meaningful, positive impact in our community.
 
This initiative is my way of honoring the legacy of my mother, Glitza Maria Caicedo Samper (Bachita), father, Daniel Samper, and sister, Glitza Daniela Samper (Nena)—who each had a deep passion for helping others.
 
 Through this foundation, their spirit of love, generosity, and service will continue to live on. In the face of unimaginable loss, I am choosing to honour my family not through anger or hate, but through love, compassion, and service—because that is what they taught me. I believe our society needs more places of refuge, love, and hope. And I will need the support of my community to bring this vision to life. 
 
My sister, Glitza Daniela Samper (Nena), Glitza Maria Caicedo Samper (Bachita), and Daniel Samper were tragically taken from us on April 26th, 2025, at the Lapu Lapu Festival, a day celebrating Filipino culture and resistance. We had immigrated from Colombia to Canada, where we became citizens and have lived for the past 24 years. They loved to spend time together at cultural events around the city that celebrated the diversity of Vancouver. 
 
We are a family that loved each other immensely. Besides myself, Bachita, Daniel, and Nena have left behind many cousins, uncles and aunts, and friends who are deeply heartbroken and impacted. 
 
My Family

Bachita (Glitza Maria) – my mother, was my hero, my emotional anchor, and my greatest supporter. She was known for her contagious joy and radiant smile. Even with limited means, she gave generously to friends and family in Colombia and Canada, donating her hard-earned money to anyone who needed it. She had a deep love for animals, treating them with the same tenderness and devotion she gave to the people in her life. She taught me to always choose the path of unconditional love, forgiveness, and respect, no matter the circumstances. 
 
Daniel – my father, was my guide, my protector, and my best friend. He was brilliant and compassionate, honest and full of integrity. Everything he did was to improve the lives of our family—we were his world, and he was the glue that kept us together. His unwavering dedication to keep us united showed me how important it is to come together in difficult times. My father was passionate about learning new things in many different areas—science, politics, physics, mathematics, and computers—he had a strong interest in staying informed about the world around him. He instilled honesty, patience, and perseverance in me, showing me how to stay determined in achieving my goals, even when the odds are against me. My father was always there for me—I knew I could always rely on him, and still today, he continues to guide me. 
 
Nena (Glitza Daniela) – endlessly curious and easily moved by the beauty in people and the world around her. She made new friends easily and welcomed so many people into her life—seeking and sharing wisdom, and building a sense of purpose and connection wherever she went. A fierce protector of my parents and I, she held our family together during our darkest days. My sister was an artist—she was constantly painting, drawing, making things. She expressed love through art too: she made her friends and family countless handmade gifts: cards with her ethereal illustrations, notes with handwritten messages, and many other artifacts to show us how much she cared. Her presence was always inviting, and she made us feel seen, valued, and loved. 
 
Please share this link with your families and communities. Your support is deeply appreciated. 
 
With love and appreciation,

Alejandro
