With heavy hearts, we share the devastating loss of my husband, Antonio Padilla, whose life was taken far too soon due to an act of violence. He was a victim of the shooting on 26 street. Antonio was a loving husband, devoted father to 5, brother and a cherished friend to many. His absence leaves a void in our lives that can never be filled. During this time of heartbreak and disbelief, I am creating this fundraiser to help support our family and children as we navigate this unimaginable loss.

Funds raised will go toward funeral and burial expenses, as well as helping ease the financial burden our family faces while we grieve and begin to heal. The sudden loss has brought unexpected challenges, and your support will help us focus on honoring Antonio’s memory and caring for our children.

Our hope is to come together as a community to honor Antonio’s life, support our family, and stand beside us during this incredibly difficult time. Any contribution, no matter the amount, is deeply appreciated. If you are unable to donate, sharing this fundraiser and keeping our family in your thoughts and prayers means just as much. Thank you for your kindness, compassion, generosity, and support during this heartbreaking time.
