Craig Caracozza, who lived in West Caldwell with his wife, Cindy, died unexpectedly, leaving behind Cindy and their 1-month-old daughter, Sienna, according to a GoFundMe launched by Marianna Cammarano.
“In the blink of an eye, Cindy’s world was changed forever,” Marianna wrote on Wednesday, April 29.
The couple had long hoped for their daughter, calling her “their miracle,” according to the campaign, which had raised more than $22,000 as of Thursday, April 30.
“What should have been the happiest chapter of their lives… has instead become a time of unimaginable heartbreak,” Marianna wrote.
“Instead of planning Sienna’s baptism and celebrating her milestones together, Cindy is now facing the painful reality of laying her husband to rest.”
Craig “was the foundation of their home” and his loss has left Cindy navigating grief and new motherhood alone, the fundraiser says.
Donations will go directly to Cindy and Sienna to help ease financial burdens as she focuses on healing and caring for her daughter, according to the page.
“Let’s come together to surround Cindy and Sienna with love, strength, and support during the most difficult time of their lives,” Marianna wrote.
