I'm sharing this with a heavy and broken heart.

This is in Honor of Michael Pena; a truly one-of-a-kind soul whose words had a way of reaching people right where they were. He had a rare kind of intelligence—not just in what he knew, but in how he made others feel understood.

He lived authentically, never bending to fit expectations, and always standing by what he believed in.

Right now, we are trying to raise funds to bring him home to California, where he will be laid to rest. If you’re able to help in any way or even just share this, it would mean so much to us during this incredibly difficult time.

If you knew him, you know he was unforgettable. And if you didn’t, just know this—he was someone who left a mark. We deeply appreciate any and all support to be able to give him the farewell he deserves!

~ Due to how sudden and unexpected this loss has been, we weren’t prepared for the financial responsibilities of transporting Him from Kansas to California, along with the expenses for his service and burial.

~ All funds will be directly to Aunt Gabriela..

~ Any and All Help is deeply appreciated!
