Santino Machado is a talented 15-year-old who recently experienced the sudden and unexpected loss of his father, Jojo. Jojo was an incredible father and a pillar in Santino's life, always encouraging and present for Santino's activities and supporting Santino in every way. He was Santino's biggest fan and hype man, and his absence leaves a tremendous void in Santino's world.

This fundraiser is being created to help support Santino as he faces the challenge of moving forward without Jojo. The funds raised will be placed in an investment account to be used by Santino for his post-high school education, down-payment for his first home, and/or seed money for his future business endeavors. By contributing, you are helping to ensure that Santino has the resources and opportunities he needs to pursue his dreams, even in the face of such a heartbreaking loss.

Any support during this difficult time is deeply appreciated. Thank you for helping Santino as he navigates the challenges ahead and works toward a brighter future, carrying his father's love, memory and encouragement with him always. Your kindness and generosity will make a lasting impact on Santino's life and future.
