SEO Title: $32K Raised for Baby Who Survived Bronx Balcony Fall

Meta Description: A GoFundMe for Nathaly Ramirez’s 8-month-old daughter has raised more than $32,000 after the young mother died in a 15-story fall in the Bronx.

An 8-month-old girl survived a 15-story fall in her mother’s arms. Now, more than $32,000 in donations is helping support the baby after the devastating loss of her mother.

A GoFundMe campaign for the daughter of 23-year-old Nathaly Ramirez had raised more than $32,000 toward a $35,000 goal by the afternoon of October 14, according to PEOPLE.

The fundraiser is intended to help Ramirez’s mother care for the infant and arrange a memorial for her daughter.

The tragedy has drawn attention not only to the baby’s survival, but also to the young mother whose final moments were spent holding her child.

A Mother Found Holding Her Baby After the Fall

Ramirez was found holding her 8-month-old daughter outside their apartment building in the Bronx, New York, early on October 6, according to the New York Police Department.

Ramirez was taken to a hospital, where she died. Her daughter survived and was initially reported to be in critical but stable condition.

Police believe Ramirez may have been trying to protect her baby during the fall. The circumstances surrounding the incident remain the subject of a criminal investigation.

Ramirez’s former boyfriend, 31-year-old Angel Carrasco, was arrested and charged in connection with the incident. He has pleaded not guilty to all charges and is being held without bail. The allegations against him have not been proven in court.

Her Final Words Were About Her Baby

A neighbor reportedly told NBC News that they heard Ramirez pleading during the confrontation.

“Please don’t do this. My baby. You know my baby is scared. Look at her face,” the neighbor recalled, according to the report cited by PEOPLE.

The account has added to the heartbreak surrounding the case, although it remains a witness’s reported recollection rather than a complete account of everything that happened.

Investigators have said Ramirez was found embracing her daughter after the fall. They believe that position may have reflected an attempt to shield the infant from the impact.

Fundraiser Helps Her Family Care for the Infant

The GoFundMe campaign describes Ramirez, who was known to loved ones as Michelle, as a joyful, energetic and caring person.

Her family said motherhood brought her one of life’s greatest joys and that her daughter meant everything to her.

The donations are intended to help Ramirez’s mother raise the child and provide a memorial for the young woman.

A former employer also remembered Ramirez as hardworking and dedicated to her career. A former classmate recalled that she would joke with people who were having a difficult day in an effort to lift their spirits.

Those memories offer a glimpse of the person her loved ones say she was beyond the tragedy that took her life.

The Criminal Case Continues

Carrasco faces multiple charges, including murder and attempted murder, according to court records cited by PEOPLE. He has denied the charges by pleading not guilty.

The fundraiser’s progress reflects the support being offered to Ramirez’s family as they navigate grief and the responsibility of raising her surviving daughter.

The donations cannot replace the mother the infant has lost. But they may help provide practical support as the family begins to rebuild its life after an unimaginable tragedy.

As the case moves through the legal system, the baby’s survival and the community’s response remain central parts of a story marked by loss, unanswered questions and an effort to protect the future of a young child.
