My name is Jude Alb, and I am making this fundraiser for my neighbor and best friend, Angelo Baez. After getting food in the village by the Bridgewater Commons Mall, we tried crossing the highway to get into Somerville when Angelo was suddenly hit by a truck and critically injured. Angelo was picked up by an ambulance and taken to Robert Wood Johnson Hospital in New Brunswick by helicopter. During this time, Angelo’s mom won’t be able to work as she will be by his side.

Please keep in mind that Angelo and his family will be seeing this, so use this as an opportunity to share love and encouragement with them and write a similar note ❤️

Below are excerpts from some of his friends and I on how we would describe Angelo as our friend.

Jacob says: Angelo is a brother to me and we have been through lots and lots of hard ships but something never like this and I am always going to be hopeful Beacuse Angelo is the strongest kid I know nit just physically but mentally and Everytime you look at him you can just see that fire in his eyes and I love him he is more then a best friend to me but a brother and I will always be with him through everything he is the best please send your prayers.

Jude says: Angelo is my neighbor, and he has been my best friend for years. We’ve been through thick and thin together. He has been there for me for anything I’ve needed. He is such a strong kid that never lets anything get in his way.

Myles says: Angelo, you’re a brother, and you’re the strongest person I know. Pull through, brother. I love you.

Ryan says: Angelo is a respectful,strong,caring person, we have amazing moments together, we spent many times together and those moments were memorable some moments I won’t ever forget because of the fun person he is. He is a person someone can reach out to ask for advice and you can get a lot from the advice and become a better person

Wayne says: Angelo is considered one of my closest friends. He’s always been there for me and has always stuck up for me. I know that if I were in his situation, he would be there for me just as much as I’m trying to be there for him. I pray for him every night, and I truly believe that if anyone can recover from this, it’s him.

Josh says: Angelo, I wish you the best and a speedy recovery. We’ve been together through thick and thin and we need you to keep pushing though this rough time. I mean this from the bottom of my heart, I love you and so does the group. Hope you get better soon miss you bro.

Tyler says: Angelo has always been there for us when we all were going through tough times. He is one of the strongest people I know and will fight to make sure he gets his way. He’s the type of friend you’d want to have.

Edward says: Angelo is one of the most loyal, honest, and strongest people I know. He’s always there for me and our friends and Constantly pushes us to be better.
