Baby Noel Funeral and Family Expenses
Donation protected
Baby Noel Rivera, age 14 months, died unexpectedly while napping on Tuesday evening, April 21, 2020. Noel is the believed son of Noel and Jessica Rivera of Brooklyn, NY and my godson.
No family is ever prepared to lose a child, especially one so young. Noel was a sweet child, always smiling and laughing. He was truly a blessing to Jessica and Noel and a wonderful gift from God that brought a lot of joy and happiness into the world. He was our pride and joy.
I am reaching out to all my family, friends, brother clergy, to my brothers and sisters in Christ and to all people of faith and goodwill to please help Baby Noel's parents who need assistance and support, especially with funeral and related expenses and to carry them through this very difficult and painful life-changing event. Both are out of work due to COVID-19 and are struggling.
To help this young couple, I am humbly asking for any amount of contribution you would be willing to share; even the Widow's Mite would be a blessing. We are hoping to relieve, to some degree, the financial and emotional hardship this tragedy has brought upon Jessica and Noel. We do not want them to have the concern and worry of how they are going to pay for Baby Noel's funeral and get by until they can get back to work. Instead, we would like Jessica and Noel to focus on the love, joy, and happiness Baby Noel gave to them and to all of us.
May our Risen Lord receive Noel into His arms and commend him to the care of His Most Holy Mother until we are all reunited in Heaven and may his memory be eternal!
All of Noel's funeral and related expenses will be paid directly by me to the funeral home entrusted with Baby Noel's care. The remaining funds will be given directly to Noel and Jessica.
Please share this appeal with your Facebook friends and community.
Thank you all for your work of mercy and for your kindness, generosity, and support.
With love in Christ,
+Most. Rev. Stephen J. Enea
