Emmanuel Ramirez Funeral Expenses

Donation protected

My name is Victor Valenzuela, two weeks ago I went to go visit one of my best friend's Emmanuel Ramirez. I grew up with him since elementary school, and have kept in touch with Eman over the years. Recently I had a conversation with him, he said he was not feeling well and was going back to Mexico with his parents. I knew something was wrong because ever since I've known him he always talked about never wanting to go back to Mexico. When I went to see him in person, I really knew something was wrong. He said he had anemia, but I felt there was more to it. He looked like he wasn't going to make it if he didn't receive immediate help. I wanted to call the ambulance, I wanted to take him to the hospital, but he refused, he just wanted to go to Mexico. Once in Mexico we learned he had kidney disease. He was going through dialysis and recently had surgery. Unfortunately, he did not make it a week after the surgery. The money now is going to his family for funeral expenses.

He has been one of my best friends for most of my life, and he has always found a way to make me laugh till this day :). I called a few people who know Eman to see if they would donate some money. Only two friend's responded and we were able to send him to Mexico.

I know we all have financial obligations, but we can all spare a few dollars, every little bit helps. If you are blessed to provide more, please do so. We all have friends and family that need help at some point in our lives. Right now the family of  Emanual Ramirez needs your help. I ask that you donate what you can. I believe that in life it's not about what you have, but what you've done with what you have to help the ones you love. Thank you to all those who have already donated. God bless you.

-Victor
