Help Carmella's Family During This Tragic Time
Donation protected
Our hearts are broken to hear the devastating news of the passing of beautiful Carmella Lopez. On the evening of May 27th, sweet six-year-old Carmella was tragically hit by a car and passed away. She was a bright light, full of joy, love, and laughter. Carmella attended Hoover Elementary School.
Carmella leaves behind her loving mother Joleen Calato, who is currently seven months pregnant with another precious baby girl. She also leaves behind her loving father Mikey Lopez and has two adoring sisters, Joella and Theresa, and little brother Mikey Lopez who are struggling to comprehend this unimaginable loss. We are reaching out to our community rally together to support this family during this incredibly difficult time.
The funds raised will go directly to Carmella's family to help with funeral arrangements and to support her and the family as they navigate this heartbreaking journey. Any contribution, no matter how small, will be deeply appreciated.
Your kindness and generosity will help ease the financial burden on Carmella’s family and allow them to focus on healing and remembering the beautiful moments they shared with their little angel.
Be a Blessing Buffalo has been in contact with Carmella's mother and Aunt Serena and they have approved of this GoFund Me and appreciate everyone generosity & We will update this feed with service arrangements once they are made.
