Support Ruben and Baby Genevi After Tragic Death of Mom

Donation protected
Help us help single Dad, Ruben Fernandez, with expenses to raise his newborn baby girl after unexpected death of her Mom

You truly don’t know what life has in store for you.

On Christmas Eve 2024, after a difficult, high-risk pregnancy, our nephew, Ruben Fernandez, and his loving, beautiful partner of 6 years, Estefany Bonilla, celebrated the birth of their baby girl, Genevi. You can imagine the joy and gratitude for this wonderful event.

7 weeks later, tragedy struck. Estefany ended up at the hospital. CPR and EMS and a week in ICU were all unable to save her. All those plans and hopes and dreams on Christmas Eve 2024 have been changed forever. Genevi will never remember or know her mom. And Ruben is now a single dad.

We are all shocked and heartbroken. She was only 36. Grief, disbelief, anxiety, overwhelm, and tremendous sadness are just the beginning. Childcare, formula, diapers, housing, single parenthood…no partner to share your life with and no Mommy to raise their baby girl. That’s the hard truth going forward.

As Ruben and family prepare to bury Estefany, we ask for your support to help us help Ruben as he faces his new reality. We would appreciate donations in any amount. If you’re unable to contribute at this time, please keep all of them in your prayers. And please share this GoFundMe link with those in your social media circles. We all thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
