It is with heavy hearts that we share the sudden passing of Cristian Polanco, who died from a heart attack at just 47 years old.
Cristian was a devoted husband to Jennifer Polanco and a loving father to their two children, Isaiah and Emma. Cristian and Jennifer had been together for 27 years, building a life centered around their family and raising their children with love and dedication.
Cristian was also deeply loved by a large extended family. He leaves behind six sisters and many nieces and nephews, all of whom are grieving the loss of a brother and uncle who meant so much to them.
His passing was sudden and devastating, leaving Jennifer and their children facing an unimaginable loss. As they begin navigating life without their husband and father, they are also facing the very real financial challenges that come with such an unexpected tragedy.
Jennifer will need to take time away from work to grieve and care for Isaiah and Emma, and that time will be unpaid. The family was also covered under Cristian’s health insurance, and his passing has created immediate uncertainty around healthcare and financial stability. Like many families, they were already working hard to make ends meet, and this sudden loss will have a significant financial impact on their household.
This fundraiser has been created to help ease some of that burden during this incredibly difficult time. Donations will help with funeral expenses, immediate household needs, and providing stability for Jennifer, Isaiah, and Emma in the months ahead.
The Polanco family is leaning on their faith and the strength of their church community, along with the love of family and friends, as they navigate this heartbreaking loss.
Cristian meant so much to so many people, and his love for his family was at the center of everything he did. Any support, whether through donating or sharing this page, will make a meaningful difference for the Polanco family.
Thank you for surrounding Jennifer, Isaiah, and Emma with love and support during this heartbreaking time.
