The Juan Antonio “El Nene” Mas, Jr. Fund was established by his sisters, Christine Mas Palmason and Maria Mas Blet, to provide counseling and support to family members who tragically lose a loved one.
In his seven years on earth, little Juan demonstrated such innocence and huge spirit, and that became their only solace in attempting to understand why he left this world.
The Foundation is honored to announce The Juan Antonio ‘El Nene’ Mas, Jr. Fund.
The Juan Antonio “El Nene” Mas, Jr. Fund was established by his sisters, Christine Mas Palmason and Maria Mas Blet, to provide counseling and support to family members who tragically lose a loved one.
In his seven years on earth, little Juan demonstrated such innocence and huge spirit, and that became their only solace in attempting to understand why he left this world.
In starting this fund, it is the sisters’ hope that others trying to make sense of a tragic loss will receive the needed words so important for healing and guiding their recovery.
We are grateful for the Mas sisters’ confidence and support of the Coral Gables Community Foundation and for propelling philanthropy in our community.
