The late Carl Angelo Viray, affectionately known as Gelo, was from San Francisco. His sudden and unexpected passing at the tender age of 22 has left his family and friends devastated. Gelo’s uncle, Remil Maglalang, has initiated a fundraiser to help cover the substantial medical and funeral expenses left in the wake of this tragedy.
Gelo was cherished by all who knew him for his kindness, humor, and the warmth he brought into their lives. His untimely departure has created a void that cannot be filled. As his family struggles with this immense emotional burden, they are also facing significant financial challenges. The costs associated with Gelo’s medical care during his final days and the unexpected funeral expenses have placed a considerable strain on the family.
To honor Gelo’s memory and provide him with the memorial he deserves, Remil Maglalang has organized a GoFundMe campaign. The goal is to raise $2,000 to cover the necessary expenses. As of now, the fundraiser has received a donation of $20 from an anonymous donor.
"We are incredibly grateful for any help you can provide," Remil expressed in the fundraiser’s description. "Your thoughts, prayers, and support mean the world to us during this tragic time. Any contribution, no matter how small, will go directly towards covering the medical bills and funeral expenses."
This effort reflects the family’s desire to celebrate Gelo’s life and mourn his loss without the added stress of financial worries. The community’s support is vital during this difficult time, helping them to focus on healing and remembering the bright light that Gelo was.
