Now, friends, family, and strangers are supporting the Gaudio family.

Guadio family friends Amy Colcher and Booda Sanchez have launched a GoFundMe campaign to support the family. As of Wednesday afternoon, more than $86,500 of the $100,000 goal has been raised from more than 670 donations.

"Bernadette Gaudio is our best friend. Her children, Robert and Andrew, are like our children," they wrote on the campaign's website. "A young man of 25 whose life was just beginning - gone. A mother, who lost her husband 15 years ago is now facing the loss of her youngest son and a life of possible paralysis. Robert, a young man who lost his father as a child is now faced with the loss of his little brother and the medical care of his mother."

Funds generated by the campaign will be used to pay for funeral costs, medical costs, and lifelong care for Bernadette.

"Mom is the strength of the family, and she's pushing to fight every minute," Robert Guadio wrote on the page. "While I continue to make a poor attempt at being the brains, I need to take a moment to recognize Andrew, our heart. Everyone who had the pleasure of spending more than a few seconds with him will carry a little of him for the rest of their lives. Remember him well.

"Mom and I have such a long road ahead," he said. "I have no idea where it will take us or how long it will take. Thank you for being there with and for us."

As of Wednesday afternoon, more than $86,500 of the $100,000 goal has been raised from more than 670 donations.
