It is with deep sorrow that we share the passing of Bernardo “Ben” Baptista on April 21, 2025. He was a devoted father, a loyal friend, and someone who made a lasting impact on many. Ben leaves behind three incredible children — Brandon, Nicole, and Rachel.

We are organizing this fundraiser to help provide for Brandon, Nicole, and Rachel in the wake of this heartbreaking loss. Your donation will go directly toward their education and care as they begin to navigate this next chapter.

No amount is too small, and every act of kindness makes a difference. Thank you for standing with these children and helping us honor Ben’s legacy of love.
