Aid for Family Devastated by Gang Violence

Donation protected
Hi, my name is Alejandra and I’m creating this gofundme in hopes that this reaches enough people willing enough to help. My uncle who is the man in the picture has unexpectedly passed away due to the gang violence in Ecuador. He was a family man, who often feared going out due to the ongoing gang violence and hit men walking freely in the streets of Guayaquil. He was a God Fearing man who instilled good values in his children and family, and for him to pass in such a gruesome way has bought much pain to us. His wife, my aunt, was also with him at the time of the shooting because they were going to pick up their son from the location he was at. Because he acted with bravery, he stood in front of the bullets and took them all to save her. Unfortunately, she did sustain wounds and was severely hurt by the many bullets shot. We have been told by the medical professionals that she currently has fluid build up in the lungs due to the trauma of the bullets hitting her side. I ask that if you see this, please help by donating or sharing for these unforeseen, unexpected events. My cousins ( 3 boys who are 22, 16, 13) are young and have lost a father due to gang violence as an innocent by stander, please help us by donating and supporting their mother, who is their only parent left.
