Teresa’s sister Mary Angela and family friend Debbie are organizing this fundraiser to support Teresa Mattea and Vasco Antune’s children in care of Vasco’s sister Patricia.

We reach out to you with heavy hearts and a humble request for support for two children, Michael 13, and Jacob 9, who have recently faced the devastating loss of both parents at a young age. Their dad Vasco died unexpectedly in 2020 and their mom Teresa passed recently at the age of 39 after a long battle with Breast cancer. We ask for your generosity, to help ease the burden financially, for funeral costs, legal expenses, and to provide ease of mind during this trying time, ensuring that the childrens’ future needs are met and providing them with a sense of stability during this challenging period of their lives.

Every donation, no matter how small, will make a meaningful difference in their journey towards healing and resilience. We want to surround the boys with all our love and support during this very difficult time. This Gofundme Campaign has been set up to provide immediate support for funeral expenses for Teresa and long term help for the boys who will be lovingly cared for by Vasco’s sister Patricia Antunes & Nuno who have 2 small children of their own. Together, we can offer them hope and show them the power of compassion and love from their community. “It takes a village”.
