Support for the family of Salvino Luis Ceballos

Members of the East Village Community School are mourning the loss of Salvino Luis Ceballos, a second-grader who died suddenly on Saturday at age 7. 

Community members have launched a GoFundMe to help his devastated parents and younger siblings with expenses. Here's more from the campaign: 
Salvino Luis Ceballos, our beautifully wide eyed, sweet, kind, curious, scrappy, energetic, dog loving, Pokemon collecting, bike riding, EVCS second grader and community member passed away tragically Saturday night June 3, 2023. It feels as if we are frozen. There were no warning signs and his sudden loss is completely unconscionable. 

Salvino had the most beautiful way of connecting with anyone he met. When his next-door neighbor told Salvino she didn't have any friends in the building, he knocked on her door shortly after with another adult neighbor and introduced them! His heart was giant. He made everyone laugh, included everyone in on the secret, and let anyone and everyone who crossed his path know how much fun there was to be had, and where to find it... 

Every dollar can help ease the financial burden for Salvino's grieving family, regardless of contribution size. We hope this beautiful family finds a way forward with ongoing family support, continued family therapy, and visits from close family and friends both here and from France.

Horrible news. I have a 6 and a 4 year-old and I cannot fathom anything happening to him. My (and other parents) absolute worst nightmare.
