Assist Bella's Family with Funeral and Living Costs

My best friend of 40+ years, Jennifer Gruendell and her partner Michael Nooks tragically lost their 12-year-old daughter they raised since she was 5 years old, Isabella Amor-Carlos (Bella) was shot and killed while sleeping in her bed. She was an innocent child sleeping in her bed caught in the crossfire from outside. The murderers have yet to be caught and brought to justice. Her parents Jennifer and Michael are in need of financial assistance with funeral expenses, bills, gas, food, utilities, vehicle maintenance and to find a new safe area to raise their other daughter. Carah (the youngest) was the one that found her sister deceased. Our family, friends and community are deeply saddened and shocked by this horrific act of violence.

Bella was one of a kind. She was such a sweet girl so smart and such a caring 12-year-old with so much love to give. Bella just started middle school at Charity Adam’s Girls Academy and was so excited to start Jr High. Please help her family if you can, whether it be in prayer or donating. We sincerely appreciate you all. Please SHARE her story and spread awareness. We love you Bella! #bellastrong

Do not donate to any other go fund me, this is the only one! UPDATE 08/31/24 I was given permission from Bella’s parents who raised her since she was 5 years old to update her GoFundMe. I updated Bella’s photo to a more recent one. The individuals that caused Bella’s death have been caught. I will be closing their GoFundMe account on 09/13/24. Jennifer and Micheal need to heal during this difficult time in their life. They are so appreciative of all the Prayers, Donations, Shares for their family and Bella. This is the only GoFundMe account for Bella. Please continue to support in anyway possible. Pray, donate, share! #bellastrong Thank you to each and every one of you. 09/08/24 I have permission to update Bella’s gofundme. Micheal Nooks and Jennifer Gruendell can’t lay their daughter Bella that they raised since she was 5yrs old to rest as they had arranged on the third of September, due to certain circumstances out of their control. This is very heartbreaking and unfair for Bella, Micheal, Jennifer and Carah who provided, cared and loved her unconditionally. Micheal and Jennifer will have a memorial bench for Bella at her favorite location to honor her and a family gathering in the near future. Micheal and Jennifer appreciate the out pour of love that has been given to them. Please, please continue to pray for their family. I am closing the donation page later today. This is the only gofundme page for sweet Bella. Micheal, Jennifer and Carah need peace. Thank you #bellastrong #justiceforbella
