Honoring My Cousin Nosiah Santos: A Family’s Plea for Help
My cousin Nosiah Santos was a vibrant, loving 17-year-old whose life was tragically cut short on May 30, 2025. I still can’t believe he’s gone. That early afternoon, Nosiah was taken from us in a senseless act of violence, leaving our entire family shattered. His mother, my aunt Lydia Albino, and all of us who loved him are now facing unexpected funeral and memorial costs. We’ve set up this GoFundMe to make sure Nosiah is laid to rest with the dignity and love he deserves—and I’m asking you, from one family to another, to help us give him that farewell.

I was very close to Nosiah when we were younger and spent most of my childhood alongside his siblings. He had an infectious smile and a joyful spirit that made every moment brighter. Nosiah’s laughter was contagious—whenever we were together, he lifted everyone’s mood with his playful energy and genuine warmth.
Though he was still so young, Nosiah carried big dreams and goals in his heart. He was always looking forward to what tomorrow might bring. Now, that future he imagined is gone—but we’re determined to honor him by giving him the farewell he deserves: surrounded by family, love, and the joy he shared with all of us.
By contributing, you’re helping my aunt and our entire family focus on celebrating Nosiah’s life instead of worrying about expenses. You’re also ensuring that his memory—his kindness, his happiness, and his bright spirit—continues to inspire everyone who knew him.
