I am reaching out with a shattered heart after the tragic loss of my mother, Nicole Carbone, who was found murdered in Youngstown, Ohio on November 10th, 2025 just three days before her 38th birthday. She was only 37 years old. Our family is devastated, and her death is still under active investigation as we search for answers.

Nicole leaves behind five children, ages 6, 7, 12, 13, and 18, who are now facing the world without their mother. She was deeply loved by her family, friends, and everyone who knew her. As the youngest of five siblings, Nicole brought warmth, humor, and light into the lives of those around her.

Because her passing was sudden and violent, Nicole had no life insurance or savings, and we are struggling to cover the cost of her funeral and burial arrangements. We want to honor her with dignity and ensure her children receive the support they desperately need during this unimaginable time.

Every donation no matter how small will go directly toward funeral expenses.

Any remaining funds will help support her children as we navigate the painful road ahead.

If you are able to donate or share this fundraiser, it would mean more to our family than words can ever express. Thank you for your compassion, your prayers, and your kindness as we grieve this unbearable loss.
