support for Juliana, Joe Buddy and Rey
Donation protected
Dear friends and family at English Academy Santa Claus,
We are reaching out to our school community and beyond to support a family in need during an unimaginably difficult time.
Last week, our dear friend and fellow parent, Juliana suffered the devastating loss of her husband Buddy to pancreatic cancer.
He was a loving and supportive father to their two children—Joe Buddy, a kind and well-loved 2nd-grader, and his baby brother Rey.
Their world has been turned upside down, and Juliana now faces an uncertain future as she navigates this loss.
Juliana is now left with not only immense grief but also overwhelming financial and legal uncertainties.
She has expressed concerns that she may have to leave Barcelona, despite having built a life here with no immediate family to support her.
As a community, we want to come together to offer her some relief—whether to help with immediate expenses, legal guidance, or simply to give her time to grieve and find her footing.
Any contribution, big or small, will make a difference in easing this difficult transition for Juliana and her boys.
If you are unable to donate, please consider sharing this with others who may be able to help.
Your kindness and generosity will go a long way in supporting this beautiful family through their darkest days.
