Help the Iraheta Family Rebuild After Tragic Loss

Dear friends, family, and compassionate strangers,

We are heartbroken to share the devastating story of the Iraheta family. On November 3rd, their lives were forever changed when a tragic car accident claimed the life of their beloved mother (shown in the cover) and left their father in the ICU, fighting to recover.

This GoFundMe is being created on behalf of Strive, where Richard and Ashley Iraheta, two incredible students, have been a cherished part of our after-school program for many years.

Meet Richard and Ashley:

Richard Iraheta is a 9th grader at Mary Star of the Sea High School. A recipient of our Operation Progress Scholarship, Richard is on the honor roll and excels as the star soccer player for his school. His determination and leadership on and off the field inspire everyone around him.

Ashley Iraheta, a bright and talented 6th grader at Alliance College Ready Middle #4, has an equally remarkable story. Once a budding gymnast, Ashley is now on her school’s honor roll, embodying resilience and dedication in her academics and personal growth.

These siblings have always been a testament to the strength and love their parents poured into their lives, making this tragedy all the more devastating.

What Happened:

On their way home from work, Richard and Ashley’s parents were involved in a horrific accident. They were rear-ended, causing their car to spin out, only to be struck again by another vehicle. Despite the heroic efforts of first responders, their mother tragically passed away in the hospital. Their father survived but remains in critical condition in the ICU, with a long road to recovery ahead.

This loss has left Richard and Ashley not only grieving their mother but also facing unimaginable uncertainty as their father’s condition unfolds.

Why We Need Your Help:

The family is now grappling with emotional and financial hardship. Immediate needs include:

Funeral and burial expenses for their beloved mother.

Medical costs for their father’s continued care.

Daily living expenses to support Richard and Ashley as they navigate life without their parents' guidance.

How You Can Help:

Your donation, no matter the size, will directly support the Iraheta family during this difficult time. Together, we can help provide Richard and Ashley with the stability and hope they need to heal and move forward.

If you cannot contribute financially, please consider sharing this campaign with your friends, family, and community. Every bit of support matters.

We, at Strive, have been blessed to know these extraordinary children, and we are committed to standing by their side. Thank you for your generosity, love, and prayers for the Iraheta family.

Let’s show Richard and Ashley that they are not alone.

With gratitude,

The Strive Team
