Our family is facing an unimaginable loss. Rachel and her two young daughters, Emma and Eva, unexpectedly lost their beloved husband and father, Pedro. Rachel is a dedicated art teacher at a private school in Manhattan and a loving mother to two beautiful girls, ages 8 and 10. In an instant, their lives have been turned upside down as they begin to navigate life without Pedro.

During this incredibly difficult time, Rachel is not only grieving the loss of her partner, but also facing the emotional and financial challenges of becoming a single parent overnight. Funeral and memorial expenses, along with the many unexpected costs that follow a sudden loss, are adding to an already overwhelming situation.

We are asking for support from friends, family, and the community to help Rachel and the girls through this heartbreaking transition. Any contribution, no matter the size, will help ease the financial burden and allow Rachel to focus on caring for the girls and helping them heal. Pedro was deeply loved, and his absence will be felt by everyone who knew him. Your kindness, prayers, and support mean more to our family than words can express. Services will be private. Thank you for surrounding our family with love during this incredibly difficult time.
