My name is Melanie, and I am a close friend of Rosa. We are heartbroken to share the passing of her husband, Jose Mendez, lovingly known to everyone as “Joey.”

During this incredibly difficult time, his family is facing emotional and financial challenges that no one is ever truly prepared for. We are asking for your support to help ease this burden and give Joey the memorial he deserves, while also helping his wife and children as they navigate life without him.

Any donation, no matter how small, would mean so much to the family. If you are unable to give, sharing this message and keeping them in your thoughts and prayers is deeply appreciated. Joey meant so much to so many, and his memory will live on in all of us. Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and support.
