Funeral Expenses for the Torres Family

My friend’s dad, Antonio Torres, recently passed away due to Covid. He was 73 years old and suffered from diabetes. 

On January 18th, he was taken to the hospital after many unsuccessful attempts to control his glucose levels. He was also beginning to show symptoms of Covid. Once at the hospital, it was confirmed that he was positive. 

The next morning he went into cardiac arrest. He survived it, but had to begin treatment on a ventilator and dialysis due to kidney failure. He fought for his life for 8 days and even showed signs of improvement after a Facetime call with his family. Unfortunately, he regressed after an attempt to slowly reduce the amount of oxygen support he was receiving. 

On January 26th, the family was informed of his critical condition. He passed away at 11:20 PM that night. 

Antonio was a loving father, husband, and friend. He will be missed dearly by his family--including his loyal dog, “Kahlito," who never left his side. 

This gofundme was organized to help the family with funeral expenses. Donations in any amount are greatly appreciated.

The Torres family would like to thank everyone for their thoughts and prayers.







El papá de mi amiga, Antonio Torres, falleció recientemente debido a Covid. Tenía 73 años y padecía diabetes.

El 18 de enero, lo llevaron al hospital después de muchos intentos fallidos de controlar sus niveles de glucosa. También estaba comenzando a mostrar síntomas de Covid. Una vez en el hospital, se confirmó que estaba positivo.

A la mañana siguiente sufrió un paro cardíaco. Sobrevivió, pero tuvo que comenzar el tratamiento de oxigenación y diálisis debido a insuficiencia renal. Luchó por su vida durante 8 días e incluso mostró signos de mejora después de una llamada de Facetime con su familia. Desafortunadamente, retrocedió después de un intento de reducir lentamente la cantidad de oxígeno que estaba recibiendo.

El 26 de enero se informó a la familia de su estado crítico. Falleció a las 11:20 pm de esa misma noche.

Antonio era un padre, esposo y amigo amoroso. Su familia lo extrañará mucho, incluida su perrita "Kahlito," que nunca se apartó de su lado.

Este gofundme fue organizado para ayudar a la familia con los gastos del funeral. Se agradecen enormemente sus donaciones.

La familia Torres desea agradecer a todos por sus oraciones y buenos deseos.
