How to Donate to Aaden Moreno's Funeral Fund

The Middletown community is mourning the loss of one of its youngest residents.

The body of seven-month-old Aaden Moreno was found in the Connecticut River after a tragic situation unfolded late Sunday night.

His father, Tony Moreno, threatened to commit suicide by jumping off the Arrigoni Bridge in Middletown on Sunday, July 5.

When police arrived, they reported seeing Moreno jump from the bridge, but did not see Aaden. A search for Aaden ended at approximately 8 p.m. Tuesday, July 7, when state police recovered the body near the Swing Bridge in East Haddam.

Heather Curnow created a fundraiser to assist the family with funeral expenses. In 16 hours, $10,644 was raised out of a $15k goal.

“Aaden’s young mother and her family are now facing the indescribable pain of losing baby Aaden,” Curnow wrote on the GoFundMe page. “They are also now suddenly faced with having to pay for funeral expenses for this sweet boy before he could even have his 1st birthday party. On behalf of Aaden’s grieving mother, we are raising money to give baby Aaden the funeral service and final resting place he deserves. Please consider donating any amount, and say a prayer for baby Aaden.”
