Help My Aunt After a Tragic Loss

Help Support My Aunt After the Tragic Loss of Her Husband and Their Beloved Dog

Hi, my name is Nathalie, and I’m posting on behalf of my aunt, who is now facing an unimaginable tragedy. On April 4, 2025, her husband, Alberto “Flaco,” was taking their sweet dog Nova for their usual evening walk—something they did as a family every single day. That night, their lives were shattered.

A reckless driver struck them both. Nova was killed instantly. Flaco was left in critical condition and later passed away from his injuries. What’s even more devastating is that the man who hit them stopped, got out of his car, looked at their bodies—and then sped off. Though he was later found, he has now been released on bond, and our family is left heartbroken, desperate for justice, and struggling to make sense of this nightmare.

Flaco was a quiet, kind, and selfless man. He cared deeply for my aunt and her family, always helping without ever asking for anything in return. He made sure she was always surrounded by small acts of love—from keeping her vases full of fresh flowers to making sure she never ran low on her favorite lotions and perfumes. He wasn’t perfect, but to my aunt, he was the ideal husband. Their bond was rare and deep, filled with laughter, long walks, and dreams of traveling the world together in retirement.

Their beloved Nova wasn’t just a pet—she was their baby. The three of them were inseparable. My aunt is now left without her two soulmates. The pain is unbearable.

We are asking for your support to help cover funeral expenses and help my aunt stay afloat in the coming months as she grieves and navigates life alone. Any amount you can give means more than words can express. Even if you can’t donate, please keep our family in your thoughts and prayers, and share this with others.

Thank you for honoring Flaco and Nova with us.
