My name is Cristina de Leon. I am a friend of Gwen (Gigi) and Ryan Gerard. As many of you know, they are still grieving the loss of their mom, Evangeline Gabriel, on 9/12/25.

Unfortunately, they also just found out that their pup, Charlie, has a mass on his liver, is bleeding internally, and is needing surgery relatively soon. Surgery is costing $20,000 and with funeral costs for Tita Vangie, it’s just all too much Gwen and Ryan have been going through it and any help is greatly appreciated!
