Gone Too Soon. Please Help Reiner’s Family Rebuild

With broken hearts, we share that my beloved brother, Reiner Noel Sr., passed away on 16 May 2025, the very same day we reached our $30,000 fundraising goal. He fought with everything he had right until his very last breath.

He was a father, a husband, a brother, a son, a friend, and a warrior. His strength, love, and unwavering spirit live on in his three beautiful children, who now face a future without their dad.

We are overwhelmed with gratitude for the outpouring of love, support, and generosity from over 450 plus donors, and the countless others who shared, prayed, and stood by us. Your kindness lifted us during our darkest hours and continues to give us strength.

In light of this heartbreaking loss, we are increasing the goal to $60,000 to help Ate Merced (his wife) and their three young children through this incredibly difficult transition emotionally, practically, and financially.

Now living far from extended family, without a source of income, they are navigating an uncertain future. These funds will provide:

• Immediate and ongoing living expenses

• Schooling and care for the children

• Support as Ate Mercy transitions to life as a single parent

• Emotional and logistical help especially while they are overseas

This support will give Ate Mercy and the kids the breathing room they need to grieve, rebuild, and begin to heal—without the crushing weight of financial worry.

This loss is unimaginable, but your compassion is helping carry us through. Thank you, from the depths of our hearts.

If you’re able to give again or share this updated campaign, we would be forever grateful.

And may God return your kindness sevenfold.

Warm thanks,

Noel Family
