Support Stanley’s Family After Tragic Fire

*this campaign has been deactivated, donations can continue to be made to the Mendieta family gofundme* Stanley is my dad’s best friend and has been his coworker for many years. He’s a beloved member of the nursing home where he works, known for his hard work, kindness, and the way he goes above and beyond to care for every resident and colleague. Stanley is the first to offer a helping hand, a listening ear, or a comforting word to anyone in need. On December 1st, Stanley’s life changed forever when a devastating fire destroyed his home. The tragedy didn’t end there—his wife, Leyla (The loving mother of their 13-year-old twins and 22-year-old daughter) passed away after the fire. His oldest daughter fought long and hard, but unfortunately has now joined her mother. The family lost everything in the fire, and Stanley and his youngest daughters are now facing unimaginable grief and hardship.

Stanley and Leyla’s children are especially in need of our support right now. They are trying to cope with overwhelming loss and uncertainty, and the road ahead will be long and difficult. Our support can help provide them with stability, comfort, and hope as they begin to rebuild their lives.

Stanley has always been the one to help others, but now he and his children need our support more than ever. He’s been unable to work while going back and forth between hospitals for his wife and eldest daughter, caring for the twins, and the financial strain of replacing everything is overwhelming. The funds raised will help Stanley and his family replace essential belongings, cover living expenses, and provide some relief as they begin to heal.

Please consider helping Stanley and his children during this heartbreaking time. Your support will make a real difference and show the family that they are not alone. Thank you for any contribution you can make.


*to allow the remainder of Stanley’s coworkers to complete their donations to the link provided to them over the weekend, this campaign will remain open until the night of Monday 12/8/25, all funds will be transferred to Stanley Avril directly from Gofundme the morning of 12/9/25. The link to the other go fund me campaign will be sent out by administration on Monday for any further donations. Thank you all*
