Help Sebastian Stay in His Mother's Home

Donation protected
Sebastian's mother and also my daughter Nicole Banducci passed on August 17th after finding a very Harsh battle with Cancer for the last 6 years of her life. She underwent multiple surgeries, radiation, chemotherapy. and multiple experimental drugs, all for one thing, to keep her Alive for one little boy and adorable son "Sebastian"! Everyone could see, they were just inseparable and and adored each other. She would say, " Mom, he is my purpose for being here!, though she knew she would struggle being a single mom and having a life-threatening disease, she Never Gave Up! and continued to be steadfast, and Positive, no matter what! Nicole's courage Under Fire, yet profound laughter ,Joy and light-heartedness, coupled with her incredible "Spiritedness" would come to inspire many, in keeping Singularly devoted to her son Sebastian. What has kept me going has been to see an the incredible Outpouring of love and compassion from the people Nicole knew, loved, and touched, right in her own backyard and neighborhood, and her son's neighboring school system, 'Sunnybrae Elementary' in San Mateo, as well as on and off of the Sports fields of Football and Soccer. During which time I took a temporary "Leave of Absence" from my work to look after and caretake my daughter and Grandson Sebastian for the last couple of months, only to have the door shut coldly! It was another profound shock and probably why we both fell sick for a couple of weeks ,but the truth of the matter is, if I do not Step Up, reach out, and get Help financially right away at this crucial and pivotal time, Sebastian could stand to lose the roof over his head ,his safety and Sanity, because here in his mother's house is where I could still be continuing to care for him, a proper and safe place, and a community that knows him and could render the necessary and needed help, love and support and Counseling that interfaces with his school, familiar friends and family here. It seems to be a perfect match! but without your Help and Support financially, he could be very potentially at risk of going into the system, CPS, Foster Care, and becoming a victim! It would break his heart, as he has already lost his Mother, the love of his life and it would probably devastate him! Sebastian has asked if he could at least stay in his mom's house near his school teachers ,school friends, and Families.

They say it takes a "Village to raise a child, and this child is really needing our Help! Won't you join us then? Any donation large or small would be Greatly appreciated for this little boy, helping to provide a Safe and Sane place a Community of familiar faces, to heal ,soothe and comfort, and Bloom again, and in Honor of his late mother, "Nicole," whose name ironically means, " Victory to the people "!

With Heartfelt Gratitude,
Sebastian & Grandma Dorene
