On September 8th, 2016, the Ghianni children lost the heart of their family, their beloved mother, Laura Ghianni. Her sudden passing was just four years after the unexpected death of her husband, their father, Gil Ghianni. Therefore, their children were left unprepared with unforeseen financial obligations, such as funeral costs, medical bills, mortgages, and other personal debts. During their time of mourning, the support of others would help lessen the immense financial burden that they are enduring.
