In loving memory of Leonti Robert Gabriel Mello.

*this fundraiser is created by Claire Mello’s sisters.

On November 2, 2025, Claire and Marius Mello lost their baby boy, Leonti Mello. Claire and Marius, their daughters Maxine and Eloise, and their son Roman were so excited to welcome little Leo into the world on or around November 21st. Instead, they had to face the unimaginable loss of their son and brother far too soon.

Our family is heartbroken beyond words. Claire and Marius showed such strength and love through something no parent should ever have to experience. As they navigate this deep loss and the days ahead, we are asking you to help us ease some of the financial strain they now face including medical and funeral costs.

If you're able to give, please do. We also have a mealtrain for those local to the area where you can sign up to bring the family meals and/or gift meal gift cards.

Claire and Marius are so so grateful for the outpouring of love surrounding them. Please give them time to grieve, and join in our prayers for them.

Leonti Robert Gabriel Mello - you are SO loved by so many. We will always remember you, and you will always be missed.
