Support Nikki and Kyle after tragic loss of their dad

This fundraiser is established by the de Stefano family to support Nikki (14), and Kyle (11) following the tragic loss of their father, Brando de Stefano.

At the age of 49, Brando succumbed to his illness within seven days of hospitalization. The cause of his death was severe internal bleeding. This unexpected loss was deeply upsetting to those closest to him. On March 5, during a visit from a friend, Brando took his children for a mountain hike. Upon returning home in the afternoon, he began bleeding and eventually fainted due to excessive blood loss. No one would ever guess that was the last happy outing with their dad for Nikki and Kyle.

On March 11, Brando passed away, leaving his daughter and son, who deeply cherished him. The absence of their father has left an indelible void in their lives. Brando had been raising the children alone for a couple of years due to his wife’s diagnosis of MS and other complications. She is currently in a clinic and unable to take care of the children.

We are profoundly saddened by the loss of a son, brother, and an exceptional father whose love touched the lives of many. The pain of this loss is immeasurable.

Funds raised through this campaign will be directly allocated to a fund established for Nikki and Kyle to cover their basic needs, education, and provide some financial security during this challenging period in their lives.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude for your unwavering support during this difficult time.
