Blanca Arceo's Memorial Fund
Donation protected
On August 31st, 2016 my aunt Blanca Arceo (Hernandez Castillo) passed away at the age of 42 after only a short term battle with pancreatic cancer. She is survived by her Husband Jorge, and her 4 beautiful children, Jorge, 20, Gaby, 17, Vanessa, 14, and Isabella, 12.
In Feburary of 2016 while living in North Dakota, she had received the news about her illness. In April of 2016, after just two months of being diagnosed, she was getting very ill. From where her and her family were living, to the hospital where she got treatment, was hours and hours away, and the commute every day was just as bad as the effectiveness of the treatment.
In an attempt to save her life, they packed up everything they could in their cars and they moved here to Washington to be close to family during this hard time; and to seek treatment at a new hospital which was closer and could actually help. Blanca and her family of 5 had constant bad luck for months with applications for apartments and finding a place to live, so between staying with family members or sleeping in their cars they have been staying in a homeless shelter.
Now that Blanca has passed away, the family is not only trying to grieve, but also trying to cope with the fact that the glue that held everyone together has now gone to heaven and they are left with nothing. No money for a place to live, no money for burial costs, nothing.
Blanca was a great wife, an outstanding mother, and overall a very strong and compassionate woman. She was selfless and would help anyone who needed it.
I'm just asking for a little help and support for our family during this tough time. It's never easy loving someone you love.
Anything helps and is appreciated!
All money donated will go directly towards burial costs and burial arrangements, as well as helping my family get back on their feet and find a place to live.
Thank you,
