‘There are no words': Dan Orlovsky asks for help after brother-in-law's death

ESPN analyst Dan Orlovsky reached out to the public for assistance following the sudden death of his brother-in-law, Federico Lascano, over the weekend. A post on X, Orlovsky shared his profound grief, stating that there are no words to express the anguish of losing a husband, a partner, and a father so unexpectedly. Lascano, who was married to Dan's sister Christine and has three young boys, is now faced with the overwhelming challenge of navigating life as a single parent and managing a single-income household.

Orlovsky highlighted the additional burden of supporting his sister through this devastating loss, with her family now grappling with the financial strain while trying to cope with the profound grief. To aid in their recovery, Orlovsky unveiled a GoFundMe campaign, which has already amassed $107,000 of its $150,000 target as of Thursday.

Orlovsky emphasized that no family should endure such heartbreak and that no one should have to worry about their financial stability while suffering the loss of a loved one. He urged for support to help alleviate the financial burden on his sister and her children, enabling them the time and space required to grieve, heal, and navigate this new, uncertain chapter in their lives.
