Dear Friends, Family, and Community,

Our family has been struck by an unimaginable tragedy. A devastating car accident has claimed the lives of both Tyler (Severiano’s wife) and Randi (Severiano’s Mother-in-law).

Miraculously, their precious 11-year-old daughter, Ranleigh, survived the crash. She is currently hospitalized in Fort Worth, Texas, where she has already undergone multiple major surgeries. Her fight is far from over, as she still faces a long road to recovery and more upcoming surgeries in the days ahead.

While Ranleigh fights to heal, dad, Severiano, is staying right by her bedside. He is an Iraq War veteran who proudly served his country, he is now stepping up to fight the biggest battle of his life for his daughter. He met Ranleigh when she was just 2 years old and has loved, protected, and raised her as his very own ever since. He is currently handling her critical medical care and fighting to secure her permanent legal protection.

Because our family is taking care of everything, we are facing the overwhelming emotional and financial burden of arranging two unexpected burials while ensuring Ranleigh has everything she needs to heal.

We are raising funds to cover:

Funeral and Burial Expenses: To lay both Tyler and Randi to rest respectfully.

Immediate and Future Care for Ranleigh : To support her upcoming surgeries, extensive medical treatments, therapy, and basic needs as her dad works to build a stable, loving home for her.

“As someone who has had the privilege of knowing Severiano personally and working alongside him, I can tell you that he is someone who deserves support during this difficult time. He is a caring friend, coworker, and family member who is now facing something no one should ever have to endure. We are asking our friends, coworkers, family, and community to come together and help take some of the financial pressure off Severiano and his family so they can focus on what truly matters right now: grieving, healing, and being there for one another. Any donation, no matter the amount, will make a difference.” -Marisa Neel, Severianos Best Friend.

If you are unable to donate, sharing this fundraiser is just as meaningful and can help us reach more people who may be able to help. Please keep Severiano, his family, and especially the young girl who is still hospitalized in your thoughts and prayers. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your kindness, generosity, prayers, and support during this heartbreaking time.
