Nadiya Santiago was a bright, energetic 11-year-old who brought joy to everyone around her. She loved spending time with her friends and family, playing soccer and boxing, and enjoying the outdoors with her siblings. Her laughter and kindness touched so many lives, and her absence has left a deep void in the hearts of those who knew her.

On May 19th, 2026, Nadiya’s life was tragically cut short. Her family is now facing unimaginable grief, along with the sudden burden of funeral arrangements, moving costs, and legal fees as they seek justice and healing. The pain of losing a child is something no family should ever have to endure, and the road ahead will be long and difficult.

We are reaching out for support during this desperate time. Any contribution, no matter how small, will help Nadiya’s family cover these urgent expenses and begin to rebuild their lives. Bullying is a terrible thing and takes the lives of thousands of children each year. We hope to raise awareness and support for families facing similar struggles. Thank you for standing with us and helping Nadiya’s family when they need it most.
