As many have already heard, sadly our beloved friend Fernando passed last week. After experiencing a medical emergency, Fernando was hospitalized for almost 3 weeks and underwent 2 surgeries. Now, in addition to the loss of a wonderful husband and father, his family is burdened with a substantial hospital bill and funeral / burial costs. They are like Fernando - humble, kind and hardworking. All who were lucky enough to know him will remember fondly his genuine warmth, loving spirit and ever present gratitude.

One couple-dear friends of the family have stepped up with a generous contribution-but the family still very much needs our help. If you are able, I hope you will take a moment and make a donation to assist them. Thank you.
