Loycano Family BCE 2025

Loycano Family Best Christmas Ever / 2025 BCE Families Campaign

Hi everyone — thank you for taking the time to visit this page, learn about the Loycano family, and support Best Christmas Ever.

Important note: this is a surprise for the family. They do not know any of this is happening. Please do not share this page with them, and if you pass it along to friends, make sure they also know it’s confidential. If you’d like to be part of the surprise delivery in mid-December (date TBD), reach out to me at 920-619-7179.

My name is Michael Vivian, and this is my second year captaining a Best Christmas Ever family with the help of my family and friends. This organization does something special: every dollar donated goes directly toward helping a family facing a difficult situation through no fault of their own.

This year, we selected the Loycano family after prayer and reflection, knowing how unbelievably hard their year has been.

On February 26, 2025, the Loycano's were involved in a serious car accident while taking their children to school. Both parents, Eric and Emmy, and all four children were rushed to the ER at North Memorial Hospital. Their 11-year-old daughter, Lilyana (Lilly), suffered critical injuries and was care flighted to Children’s Minnesota Hospital.

After two days on life support, Lilyana tragically passed away on February 28.

Lily has been described to me as a beam of sunshine — someone who lit up every room and constantly looked for ways to help others. Her smile, her generosity, and her spirit left a mark on everyone around her. Nothing can fill the void left by her passing. We can only imagine how heavy this year—and especially this Christmas—will be for the family.

On top of their grief, they’re also carrying financial hardship and the weight of everyday bills. This is where we can step in.

I’m inviting you to give whatever you feel called to give so we can come together and create a Christmas that shows this family they’re not alone. We want Dominic, Jaxon, and Merric to feel surrounded by love and support, and for the parents to feel a bit of relief in a year marked by unbearable loss.

If you’re unable to give financially, I ask for your prayers. They matter, they make a difference, and I believe God hears every one of them.

Thank you for helping us bless this family in a powerful way!

About Loycano Family BCE 2025

Our team is pleased to announce that we have partnered with a local non-profit organization called Best Christmas Ever (BCE)! BCE surprises families during the holiday season who have fallen on tough times through no fault of their own. Our team is looking forward to surprising a local family with a Best Christmas Ever this holiday season! We aim to raise at least $5,000 and collect ten donated gifts per family member! The families that receive the Best Christmas Ever are chosen from nominations submitted to BCE. Nominations are open and can be submitted at www.BCEmovement.org. Our team will have the opportunity to select a family in early November. After that, we will display a BCE gift tree at our local business sponsor. Community members can visit the sponsor location, grab a gift tag and purchase a present for the selected family! Monetary donations will go towards the family's life-changing gift. This gift can help reduce the burden a family carries during difficult times. The financial gift may be used to purchase a new/used vehicle, pay medical bills, go towards their rent/mortgage, pay credit cards, pay utility bills, travel, etc. BCE does not pay phone bills, cable bills, court-related incidents, or construction projects. Additionally, BCE does not pay cash directly to families. We cannot complete this BCE without the support of our community. Thanks in advance for your help! If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to call me! BEST CHRISTMAS EVER IS A 501(c)(3) NONPROFIT. TAX ID: 46-4729005.
