My name is Isabella and I am reaching out during the most heartbreaking moment of my life. A few days ago, my husband Francisco Linares Chavez was taken from us in a tragic act of violence while he was in Mexico. Losing him so suddenly and so brutally is something I never imagined I would face, and now I am left trying to bring him home so he can rest where he belongs — with his family.

I am doing everything I can to bring him back to the United States, but the costs are overwhelming. Between the expenses of transporting him home, funeral arrangements, and the sudden financial burden that comes with losing the person who helped support our family, I am struggling to carry this alone.

We have three beautiful children who are now left without their father. They are grieving, confused, and trying to understand a world that suddenly feels so different. I want to give them stability, love, and the chance to heal — but right now, I need help to make that possible.

If you are able to donate, no matter the amount, it would mean more than I can express. Your support will help me bring my husband home, lay him to rest with dignity, and keep our children cared for during this unimaginable time. If you cannot donate, sharing this page or keeping us in your prayers is just as appreciated.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your kindness, your compassion, and your support as we navigate this painful transition.
