Dave and Melissa's Healing Journey

Donation protected
Hi all,

My name is Michael Martelli and I'm looking to help out my best friend Dave and his family.

In the wake of a devastating tragedy, my dear friends Dave and Melissa are navigating the unimaginable loss of their youngest son, Luca Alexander Azevedo aka 'Bubbie'. This heartbreaking incident occurred within their neighborhood and very close to their home. The constant reminders of that day have taken a significant toll on their mental health and overall well-being.

As they seek to heal and find solace, the family is looking to relocate to a new home—one where they can create fresh memories away from the shadows of the past. Moving is a crucial step for them to reclaim a sense of peace and begin to rebuild their lives.

I'm reaching out to my friends, colleagues, connections, and communities for support during this incredibly challenging time. Your contributions will help ease the financial burden of moving expenses and provide Dave and Melissa with the opportunity to restart in a place that feels nurturing, comfortable and like home again.

Together, we can help them take this essential step toward healing and hope. Thank you very much for your kindness and support.

Anything and everything is appreciated more than you know.

Please review the memorial video of Bubbie's short
but very happy life.

Thank you,
Michael
