Hello everyone, my name is Oscar, and I’m reaching out for support during one of the most heartbreaking moments of my life. On 12/3/25, my father passed away after a long and difficult battle following a major stroke earlier this year. Since March, we cared for him at home with all the love we had. He fought every single day, and even through the pain, he stayed strong for us.

My dad was an extremely hard worker—the kind of man who never gave up on anything, no matter how tough life got. He was always there for me and my three siblings, giving us strength, guidance, and love in his own quiet, hardworking way. He taught us what it means to keep going, to stay humble, and to take care of family. He also loved fútbol—it brought him joy, comfort, and connection, and it was something that always lit him up.

His passing has left our family devastated, and because everything happened so fast, we did not have any funeral or burial arrangements in place. We want to honor him the right way — with a peaceful Catholic burial and a resting place where we can visit him, pray for him, and keep his memory alive. Unfortunately, the costs of a burial plot, funeral services, preparation, and transportation are more than our family can handle alone. During a time when we are trying to grieve, we are also struggling to cover these sudden expenses.

We are humbly asking for help so we can give my father the respectful farewell he deserves. Any amount — truly, even a small one — means the world to us. If you are unable to donate, please share this campaign so it can reach others. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for your kindness, your prayers, and your support during this painful time. My family and I appreciate every message, every share, and every contribution as we try to honor the incredible man my father was.

With love and gratitude,
The Mendez Family
