This month has been tragic for many many people, states, countries, homes, businesses but especially families....including mine.On September 4th, Labor Day my nephew's life unexpectedly ended right in front of his mother and little sister. Xander Draven Maldonado died at the young age of 13 years old...in Walden, NY. He was wonderfully kind, intelligent and a heartwarming young man...taken from this world and our family far too soon...Xander loved his family, animals, video games, and of course his friends...he was so giving and willing to help everyone he encountered...his parents knew this and right to the end he Donated his organs & tissue to help other children have a second chance...The details of his cause of death and our plight by his mother to educate yourselves on "Shallow Water Blackouts" is below this message. Please don't forget to read it. Linked below:If you find it within your means to donate some money to my brother so he can spend time at home grieving with his family without the worry of financial strains and the sacrifices of taking time off from work at the FDNY...we would be forever in your debt. He needs to get through this Holiday season at his families side.All monies collected will go Directly to my Brother & His Immediate family with the exception of the fee's GoFundMe Collects per donation (2.9% + $0.30).If you prefer to send your donations via PayPal "Friends & Family" this has no fee's attached.
