Mandie Ramos's husband died unexpectedly on January 10. She respectfully requests privacy for herself and her family. She will be taking bereavement leave but unfortunately her contract employer doesn't provide paid leave. There is also memorial expenses since the VA is only covering burial. Her immediate need would be support so she can take this time for herself and children. She would also need funds to have an honorable burial. Any donations would be greatly appreciated.

Her husband was an Army Veteran that had a talent for fixing anything. He was a gym enthusiast that enjoyed working on his truck. He spent time overseas as a contractor. He took great pride in his role overseas. They were married for over a decade and relocated to Texas to be closer to family.
