The late Mateo De Los Angeles Hodges was a young child from Houston, Texas. The tragedy struck on June 22nd, 2024, when his family received the devastating news that Mateo had drowned. Despite being rushed to the emergency room and spending a week in the ICU, Mateo sadly passed away, gaining his wings.
Mateo had just celebrated his 2nd birthday in April and was the youngest of five children. Known for his sweet face and big eyes, Mateo had a way of lighting up any room. He loved cuddling with his mother, Alejandra Espinoza, and playing with his older siblings and cousins. His favorite foods included rice with beans and cream, and he had a particular fondness for bananas.
In the wake of this tragic event, Alejandra, a single mother of five, is now facing unexpected expenses and the need for time off work to grieve and care for her other children. Her sister, Nancy Lara, has organized a GoFundMe campaign titled "In Memory of Mateo: Aid for Alejandra" to help raise funds for these expenses. The goal is to raise $20,000, and any donation, no matter the amount, is greatly appreciated.
Nancy’s appeal to the community highlights the profound impact of this loss and the need for collective support during such a difficult time.
