Support Benavente Families After Devastating Loss

Donation protected
We are deeply saddened to announce that the Melendez and Benavente families have suffered a horrible tragedy. On May 26, 2023, Andrew Benavente, 35, his son Andrew Jr. (“AJ”), 13, and his daughter Madelyn, 6, died in an automobile accident. Digna Melendez-Benavente, Andrew’s wife and the loving mother of AJ and Madelyn, was not with them at the time. Needless to say, Digna, and the entire Melendez and Benavente families are left completely devastated by this horrible loss. The loss of Andrew, Andrew “AJ” Jr., and Madelyn Benavente has deeply impacted the family, friends, and the community as a whole.

This GoFundMe campaign was started to provide financial support to help Digna, and the Benavente and Melendez families, with the overwhelming expenses stemming from this tragedy. The funds are desperately needed to cover funeral costs, medical bills, and other immediate expenses.

Digna Melendez-Benavente is now faced with the overwhelming task of having to say goodbye to her beloved husband and two children. As a grieving mother and widow, she will need all the support and assistance we can offer. By contributing to this campaign, you will help ease the financial burden on the family and allow them to focus on healing and rebuilding their lives.

We ask for your generosity by donating any amount you can to help provide comfort and relief.

In lieu of flowers, the family has expressed their preference for monetary help.

We understand that not everyone is able to donate, but you can still make a difference by sharing this campaign with your friends and family through social networks and word of mouth. Spreading the word and raising awareness about the family's situation is equally valuable.

Thank you for your kindness, compassion, and support. Together, we can make a meaningful impact and provide a ray of hope in the darkest of times.

Updates and Communication:
We will provide updates whenever possible to keep everyone informed about the family's progress and how your contributions have made a difference. We understand the importance of transparency and want you to know the impact of your generosity and support.

We extend our heartfelt condolences to the Benavente and Melendez families. Please, let us join together as a community to support them during this tragic time. Your contributions, whether big or small, will make a significant impact on their journey towards healing.

Please feel free to reach out to us with any questions or concerns. Your support and prayers are greatly appreciated
