Dear Friends, Family, and Compassionate Strangers,

I find myself reaching out to you today with a heavy heart, seeking your support during this difficult chapter of my life. My name is Yaritza, and I am writing to humbly request your assistance through this GoFundMe campaign. My purpose is to raise funds for a deeply meaningful journey to Puerto Rico, where I plan to spend time with my dad, Andres Reyes, before his time on this earth comes to an end. When that day comes, I hope to lay him to rest with the dignity he deserves.

My world shattered when I received the devastating news of my dad’s cancer diagnosis. He was not just a parent but also my guiding light, mentor, and best friend. We shared countless memories, laughs, and tears, and his unwavering love and support have shaped me into the person I am today. With your generous contribution, I hope to secure the funds necessary for this journey home. To physically be in Puerto Rico during this difficult time is priceless, and I am profoundly grateful for all the support. Thank you for your empathy, generosity, and understanding.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Yaritza

Estimados amigos, familiares y extraños compasivos,

Hoy me encuentro acercándome a ustedes con un corazón roto, buscando su apoyo durante este difícil capítulo de mi vida. Mi nombre es Yaritza y le escribo para pedirles humildemente su ayuda a través de esta campaña de GoFundMe. Mi propósito es recaudar fondos para un viaje profundamente significativo a Puerto Rico, donde planeo pasar tiempo con mi papá antes de que Dios lo llame a casa. Cuando llegue ese día, espero dejarlo descansar con la dignidad que se merece.

Mi mundo se quebró cuando recibí la devastadora noticia del diagnóstico de cáncer de mi padre. No solo ha sido un padre, sino también mi guía, mentor y mejor amigo. Compartimos innumerables recuerdos, risas y lágrimas, y su amor y apoyo constante me han convertido en la persona que soy hoy. Con su contribución generosa, espero asegurar los fondos necesarios para este viaje a casa. Estar físicamente en Puerto Rico durante este momento difícil no tiene precio y estoy profundamente agradecida por todo el apoyo. Gracias por su empatía, generosidad y comprensión.

Con sincera gratitud,

Yaritza
