Expenses incurred after the death of Emmanuel

Just days before Christmas, Elluvia Francisco experienced every parents absolutely worst nightmare.. the loss of her child. Emmanuel Castaneda (Manny) was only 17 years old, a senior in high school. 4 days after he went missing, his body was found Wednesday, December 21, 2022 in the Loxahatchee area. The death is being treated as a homicide as there was foul play involved.

Words can not describe the loss, heartache, sadness and grief that we all feel… and that doesn’t even touch on what his mom must be going through. Manny and his mom were students at Black Lotus Gym and a part of our family.

Please let us come together and focus on supporting his mom and family in their time of need.

The car Manny was driving was Elluvia’s only car and is still missing. In addition to that, there will be funeral costs among other expenses.

Proceeds will be transferred to Sarah parr Malega, Emmanuels God Mother, who is organizing the funeral for the family and assisting Elluvia with any other expenses she's currently handling.

We have also created a Care Calendar for anyone who is interested in donating a meal to the family (link below).
