Belvidere Family Mourns Gino Collazo After May 21, 2026 Hit-And-Run Crash Near Home
Gino Collazo died on Thursday, May 21, 2026, after a hit-and-run driver struck Gino near the family home in Belvidere, Illinois.
Amanda Olszewski, Ava, 7, and Anika, 4, now face funeral costs and urgent new expenses while grieving a sudden and painful loss.
Lisa Welch, Amanda’s aunt, organized a memorial fundraiser on May 28, 2026, to support Amanda and the children directly.
The fundraiser had raised $980 of its $7K goal through 15 donations at the time of the post.
Gino and Amanda had moved to Belvidere last summer, bought their first home, and were building a life with their children.
Family members said memorial service details and a formal obituary will be announced at a later time.
