Supporting Aidan's family

It is with great sorrow that I write this. I am Jessica, aunt of beloved Aidan who was taken too soon from this Earth. As one way of offering support, we are raising funds for his immediate family as they go through the unthinkable.

Our sweet, silly, loving Aidan collapsed on August 3 at the young age of 14, never to recover, from brain arteriovenous malformation (AVM). He leaves behind his loving mother, father, step-mom, sisters, grandparents and many many more who love him dearly. Nothing in this world can begin to prepare anyone for the loss of a child and his sudden death shook the foundation on which we all stand.

Aidan was a charismatic, amazing young man. It was a joy to watch him with his younger sisters and cousin as he was the big brother they all looked up to. He always lit up the room with his silliness and curiosity. Aidan's younger sisters Ari & Cecilia and my son, his cousin Marcelo adored him and loved every second they got to spend with him. I too am grateful for all the time I got to spend with Aidan in his short life. We all love him immensely and will miss him dearly.

With this Go Fund Me, we hope to provide the slightest bit of comfort for his parents so they need not stress about finances and have some time to heal and focus on what is important. Whether or not you can contribute to this fund, they need the love and support of their family and friends more than ever.

Thank you for your love, support and generosity during this most difficult time. I know it means the world to them and will help them get through this.
