Support a Family with the tragic Loss of 14 Year old son

We are heartbroken to share the devastating news that a loving and dedicated family has suffered an unimaginable loss. On 11/26/2024, Lazaro Martinez, a kind and spirited young boy, tragically lost his life after being struck by a car while crossing the street. His passing has left a void that can never be filled, and his family is now facing the painful journey of navigating life without him.

Lazaro Martinez was a 14-year-old full of life, love, and promise. He was not just a son but also a beacon of light to everyone who knew him. He is deeply loved by his parents, siblings, cousins, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and extended family. He adored football and shared a special bond with his brothers and sisters. His love for his family and extended family was boundless. He was a source of pride for his mother, a single mom who has dedicated her life to raising her five children with love, strength, and resilience.

Tragically, during the accident, which took place by the family's home, his 8-year-old cousin witnessed this heartbreaking event. The siblings and mother arrived at the fatal scene shortly after. The emotional and mental impact has been profound for the entire family, who now faces the challenge of navigating life without their beloved Lazaro Martinez.

Canelee Aguilera, a devoted single mother of five children, has also opened her heart and home to care for her three nephews and nieces. She has spent her life giving her children and extended family love, stability, and a safe place to grow. Now, in this time of unimaginable grief, she faces not only the heartbreak of losing her son but also the significant financial challenges that come with this tragedy.

The family needs support to cover funeral and memorial expenses, provide counseling for the children who are grieving the loss of their brother and cousin, and help ease the financial strain during this difficult time. Your contributions will allow Canelee Aguilera to focus on healing and caring for her family without the added burden of financial stress.

As a community, we have the opportunity to stand beside this amazing mother and her family in their time of need. Your contributions will go toward honoring Lazaro Martinez’s memory with a beautiful farewell and easing the family’s financial struggles as they work to heal from this tragedy. Every donation, no matter the size, will make a meaningful impact and help this family move forward with hope and healing.

Thank you for your compassion and support during this incredibly difficult and tragic time.
