Support the Acevedo Family After a Tragic Loss

Donation protected
Update from Gina Pinto:
On behalf of the Acevedo family, I want to thank everyone for their generosity and messages of support during this extremely difficult time. When I set up this fundraiser less than a week ago for the family, I never thought that this amount of support was possible and we are grateful for every one of you! The funds raised thus far will cover all of the funeral and burial expenses for Guillermo. In addition, we will be setting up a special savings account for the children to help them with housing expenses and any other needs that may come up over the next few months. I will be withdrawing the donations for the funeral expenses and will transfer them directly to Teresa Acevedo's bank account. From there she will make the necessary payments and open up a savings account for her 3 young boys. Again, we are humbled by your generosity and are forever grateful.

Hello, I'm Teresa, and I find myself in an unimaginable situation that no one should ever have to face. On November 4, 2023, my beloved husband, Guillermo Acevedo, was tragically killed in a pedestrian accident in Jersey City, NJ. Guillermo had been a dedicated cook in Downtown Jersey City for over 20 years, and he worked tirelessly to provide for our family.

Guillermo was not just a devoted husband but also a kind, humble, honest, and hardworking man who always put his family first. He was a loving father to our three boys, aged 16, 14, and 8, and his loss leaves a gaping hole in our lives.

The accident occurred as he was on his way from one job to another, trying to make ends meet for our family. Anyone who knew Guillermo knows that he was always ready to lend a helping hand to anyone in need.

I have created this GoFundMe campaign to ask for your support during this incredibly challenging time. The funds we raise will be used to cover funeral expenses, provide housing for our family, ensure we have food on our table, and support the continued upbringing of our children.

I work full-time as a housekeeper, but I am without insurance or savings to help us navigate this difficult period. Your generosity will make a profound difference in our lives, helping us cope with the loss of Guillermo and ensuring that our children have the support they need to move forward.

Thank you in advance for your kindness and generosity during this heart-wrenching time. Your support means the world to us.

Hola, soy Teresa y me encuentro en una situación inimaginable a la que nadie debería tener que enfrentarse jamás. El 4 de noviembre de 2023, mi amado esposo, Guillermo Acevedo, murió trágicamente en un accidente de peatones en Jersey City, Nueva Jersey. Guillermo había sido un cocinero dedicado en el centro de Jersey City durante más de 20 años y trabajó incansablemente para mantener a nuestra familia.

Guillermo no solo fue un esposo devoto sino también un hombre amable, humilde, honesto y trabajador que siempre puso a su familia en primer lugar. Fue un padre amoroso para nuestros tres hijos, de 16, 14 y 8 años, y su pérdida deja un gran vacío en nuestras vidas.

El accidente ocurrió mientras iba de un trabajo a otro, tratando de llegar a fin de mes para nuestra familia. Cualquiera que haya conocido a Guillermo sabe que siempre estuvo dispuesto a echar una mano a quien lo necesitara.

He creado esta campaña de GoFundMe para pedirles su apoyo durante este momento increíblemente difícil. Los fondos que recaudemos se utilizarán para cubrir los gastos del funeral, proporcionar alojamiento para nuestra familia, garantizar que tengamos comida en nuestra mesa y apoyar la crianza continua de nuestros hijos.

Trabajo a tiempo completo como ama de llaves, pero no tengo seguro ni ahorros que nos ayuden a afrontar este período difícil. Su generosidad marcará una profunda diferencia en nuestras vidas, ayudándonos a sobrellevar la pérdida de Guillermo y asegurando que nuestros hijos tengan el apoyo que necesitan para seguir adelante.

Gracias de antemano por su amabilidad y generosidad durante este momento desgarrador. Su apoyo significa mucho para nosotros.
