Update: It is with the heaviest hearts that we share that our sweet Aries has been called home to be with the Lord. While our hearts are broken, our focus now is on giving him the beautiful and dignified farewell he deserves. We are deeply grateful for the overwhelming love, prayers, and support our family has received from this incredible community during this unimaginable time. Any continued support to help with funeral and burial expenses is greatly appreciated. Thank you for keeping our family in your thoughts and prayers as we navigate this heartbreaking loss.

On Friday, July 24, our sweet Aries (3 years old) was airlifted to Cook Children’s Hospital after a devastating drowning accident. The family is facing every parent's worst nightmare, and Aries continues to fight through this unimaginable tragedy with incredible strength. His mother, Evangeline Esparza only 22 years old, is doing everything she can to stay by his side, while also caring for his 5-year-old sister. The emotional toll is immense, and the family is focused entirely on supporting Aries and each other during this heartbreaking time.

Because Aries’ mother is unable to work, the family is struggling to cover medical expenses, travel costs, daily living needs, and lost income. The uncertainty and stress of these financial burdens make an already difficult situation even harder. We are reaching out to the community for prayers, love, and support to help ease these challenges, so Aries’ mother can remain where she is needed most—with her children.

Every donation, no matter the amount, and every share means more than words can express. Your kindness will help provide hope, strength, and compassion to Aries and his family as they navigate this crisis. Thank you for surrounding them with your support.
