Dear Friends, Family and Loved ones,

On Thanksgiving night when most americans where at their dinner tables celebrating their night together, our beloved cousin, Daniel Andrade was nowhere to be found. As we now know Daniel was not absent because he did not care or love us; rather he was absent because he was taken from us by virtue of yet another horrific Albuquerque murder.

As the family gathers in an effort to understand how Daniel, as well as all of us could be victims of such a terrible tragedy, we are also struggling to gather the neccesary funds to honor Daniel his life and our grieving family so that we can send him off in, as loving and respectful way as possible under these challenging circumstances. 

It is with this goal in mind and with great humility, that the family requests contributuions in any amount so that we can, together appropriately and lovingly meet the financial burden thrusted upon us as a result of Daniels murder.
We as a family have always and will always be there for one another and although this terrible event will never leave our minds completely, by coming together in an effort to support Daniels final celebration of life, we must bear the burden together so that our next Thanksgiving and those there after will be ones that we remember how Daniel lived and loved his family,  rather than how he died.

Thank you for a contribution of any amount in which you are comfortable giving in order to support our goal of lovingly letting go of our beloved Daniel, as he moves on to a better place, where, over time he and we, will eventually gather for that thanksgiving feast we were unable to share a few tragic days ago. 

The family is grateful for the thoughts and prayers and is humbled by the number of people who have already offered to thelp support them at a time where they are barely capable of supporting themselves. 

PS:
ALL funds will be used soley for funeral realted expenses. Thank You.
