Travel and Funeral expenses

My name is Kathleen Perez out of central Florida  -I’m creating this for what I should say is Gregory and I’s best friend . But realistically this man is more like a brother to us . Today our brother Ernie “Tico” Ortiz is going through something no parent should ever have to go through . He has lost his only 2 sons ages 5 and 7 to a house fire earlier today in Akron, OH . 2 other lives were lost in this tragedy along with his two children , the children’s  mother and their 10 year old sister . Several  families have had their world turned upside down today . Anyone who knows Ernie knows that he is the kind of guy who would give you the shirt off his back , always willing to help someone out and is just overall a great person and amazing friend . First and foremost our friend needs our prayers for him and his family to find some sort of peace and comfort during this time . Secondly as if this is not in itself enough to have to bare , he should not have to worry about flight fare to Ohio , hotel , food , eventually funeral and memorial expenses and all the other expenses he will have to confront in these next few days and weeks . So what I ask is that you please donate any little bit that you can , no amount is too small . Let us show our friend and fellow Truck Driver for those in the trucking community how we can all come together for him in this moment of need . All money will be directly given to Ernesto Ortiz for funeral and memorial expenses as well as travel to and from Ohio . The money is being directly sent to the  bank account of María Rosa , Ernesto Ortiz’s Mother, to be disbursed for funeral and travel expenses . Thank you all again .
