With an incredibly heavy heart, I am reaching out for help. Yesterday, April 9, 2026, I lost my beloved son, Frankie Pinuelas, to a drug overdose. This is the second child I’ve lost—my first to suicide—and I am struggling to find words. Frankie was loved so deeply by his family , his daughter and his siblings, and he had a bright spirit. Always knew how to make everyone smile and laugh. After a serious car accident some time ago, he was left in constant pain, which eventually led him down a tragic path. Please, if you can, help us raise $3,000 so we can give Frankie the proper burial and celebration of his life that he deserves. I will share updates on his service soon. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart.”
