My first love, my first son, my Gio ❤️

Donation protected
I never thought I'd need to make a gofundme or ever experience what I'm going through... but here I am. A mother of 2 handsome, loving sons, having to bury her first born. It's something no parent should ever have to do, especially so young. Saturday my Gio passed away unexpectedly, the night before his 20th birthday. I didn't even get to wish him a happy birthday or record the cake we had for them on Thanksgiving. I thought i still had time on Sunday to take pics and celebrate, instead it was the slowest day- full of random crying outbursts and thoughts of Gio. Then today my younger son Fabian, instead of celebrating his 17th birthday with his brother as they have every year, he spent it crying with me and preparing for the long, difficult road ahead of us. It was always the 3 of us against the world and now all me and Fabian have is each other. I really hate to ask for help but I know I can't do this alone. Tomorrow I'll start looking to see where we'll have the wake and burial. So the amount is just a guess right now but anything anyone would like to donate to help cover funeral costs, would be greatly appreciated. If you're unable to donate, I truly understand. Just please take a moment to share this and say a prayer for me and my family. I need every prayer possible right now, just to keep myself together.

Thank you to all who donate, have contacted me or my family to give their condolences and all those praying for us. It means the world to me.
