Support for Gabriel's Family

Our hearts are heavy as we share the devastating news of the tragic passing of three-year-old Gabriel, the son of a family in our community. If you have not already learned, Gabriel passed away unexpectedly on Sunday, March 26. His family is understandably devastated and in need of support. Our goal is to connect Gabriel's family with financial resources to help pay for his funeral and burial and to help cover their housing expenses as they navigate the upcoming days, weeks, and months.

When talking about Gabriel, his dad describes him as being a bright, loving, and lively young boy: "He was a good kid. He knew how to count to 100, and he also learned the alphabet in two days. He knew how to recognize any color like red, green, even white and brown. He also loved church and he loved people very much. And he always wanted to eat grapes every single day. Any time of the day, he would just always want grapes."

We are turning to friends, family, members of the community, and acquaintances for help during this incredibly challenging time. All donations will go towards easing the financial burden of this tragedy and providing Gabriel's family with the necessary support to process, grieve, and heal.

We appreciate any help you can offer, whether it be through a donation, prayer, or simply sharing this fundraiser. Thank you for your support, prayers, and generosity as we band together to help honor Gabriel's life and memory.

With much love to Gabriel and his entire family,

Friends of the Woodfield Community Center
