My eyes have been opened again to how quickly life can change. My nephew and godson, Angelo Nicholas Valentino, passed away unexpectedly due to complications from the flu. He was only 18 months old, and the most beautiful baby—always smiling, always happy. His name fit him perfectly because he was the perfect angel. His four-year-old brother misses him terribly, and his mom and dad are devastated by this unimaginable loss.

Angelo’s passing has left our family heartbroken and facing a future filled with uncertainty. As we grieve, we are also trying to support his parents, who are preparing for the arrival of a new baby while navigating this difficult time. We want to help relieve some of the financial burden so they can focus on healing and supporting each other.

Any support you can offer to help my brother’s family through this heartbreaking time would mean the world to us. We will never know why this happened, but we hold onto the hope that we will see Angelo again someday. Thank you for your kindness and support.
