Funeral Expenses for Elio Ramirez

hi all, my name is Sasha ramirez, this weekend my family and I recieved the most devastating news we've recieved in a while. At 3 am we recieved a call from the coroners office. Later that day our nightmares that were just asumptions up to that point were made reality. Elio was a big was such an amazing soul and wonderful brother to me. He was older than me but growing up I always pictured him to be my age. He was never stearn with me or an authority figure, Elio was a child at heart trapped in a grown mans body. Growing up with him spending summer days locked up inside our small apartment always consisted of him waiting around peaking out the window like a little kid would, waiting for the icecream man to pass and while he did that he would just whisper to himself,"JR. FLIP!" as to remind himself what he wanted to get himself the moment the icecream man pulled up. we'd spend our time together eating snacks and messing around and being light hearted becaus e thats just who he was. Though his life didn't always go down the path he may have hoped or planned for himself , he always kept that child like spirit which i always admired so much so that I found it hard to believe he was dealing with so much because he ever allowed us to see that. My heart aches for elio as a kid and i wish i could time travel and protect him from what the present would be for him. He deserved so much more and had so much to accomplish and he wasnt given that chance. My heart aches for destinee, his daughter (my niece) shes only 13 and the same age i was when i lost my mom. its such a confusing age and death is such a hard thing to process. I'm sad that she'll never have the chace to build the relationship with her father that they always wish they had. My family and i hope to put any remaining funeral funds into a savings account for her to have that as security as she learns to readjust to her new life. We all feel like we've just been knocked off of our feet and just can't believe that such a silly, goofy, fun Person in our lives is suddenly gone. Coping with the death of a loved one is so hard especially under the circumstances that Elio left us but dealing with the financial strain of planning a funeral makes it impossible to be able to mourn. I would love to help my dad and Elio's mom in anyway i possibly can, even if this fundraiser is all i can do. I understand that financial situations are hard for many of us so if you can and have the resources to donate even just one dollar we appreciate it. Thank you all for the abundance of love and support and we hope to give you all info about services soon.
