Funeral Expenses for Lupe Ruiz

On Sunday, December 26th, the day after Christmas, Lupe Ruiz was tragically killed two days before what would have been her 35th birthday.

 

For those of you who did not know her, Lupe Ruiz is the mother of our two beautiful grandsons, Ruben (5) and Ryan (3) Heredia. As you can imagine, the boys and our families are devastated and in disbelief by Lupe’s sudden and tragic passing.

 

We are starting this fund to help Lupe’s mother Irma and brothers Jesus & Manuel with this unexpected funeral as well as other unanticipated expenses that may arise. We hope to alleviate some of the financial hardships, so the family will be able to provide the necessary emotional support our grandsons, whose lives have been irrevocably altered, will need in the coming days.

 

We would like everyone to know that despite what the news has reported, Lupe was not homeless. Like so many people, she was going through a tough time in her life and did not deserve for her life to end the tragic way that it did. Lupe should be known and remembered as a beloved mother, daughter, sister, and friend to her immediate and extended family and all those who knew her well.

 

Any support you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

 

Please keep our families and our grandsons in your prayers.

 

Much Love & Thank you,

Irene & Gabe Huerta
