Costs Regarding the Homicide of Rafaela Espíndola

This GoFundMe is for miscellaneous expenses for the loss of my grandmother,

Rafaela Espíndola Reyes.

Rafaela was born January 31st, 1949. Born in Mexico, she came to the states and started her family here at the age of 25. She raised 2 daughters and 4 sons. She was a grandmother to 20 grandchildren and 5 great grandchildren.

On Monday February 20th, 2023, her life was taken from her tragically and unexpectedly. She rented a room to a man who unknowingly to her, had mental issues, and was murdered by him.

She lived a quiet life in Visalia with her many animals which she loved so very much. She loved to cook and be with family.

If you could donate anything to help with her funeral costs, our family would greatly appreciate it. We need to buy the grave plot, set up funeral arrangements and put together her memorial service which comes out to roughly $30,000 but with fees from go fund me, we are asking for $35,000.

Please keep our family in prayer during this very difficult time.

Thank you so much for your help as we get through this together.

Rest In Peace

Rafaela Espíndola Reyes.

Rafaela nació el 31 de Enero de 1949. Nacida en México, vino a los Estados Unidos y formó su familia aquí a la edad de 25 años. Crió a 2 hijas y 4 hijos. Fue abuela de 20 nietos y 5 bisnietos.

El lunes 20 de Febrero de 2023 le fue arrebatada la vida de forma trágica e inesperada. Ella alquiló una habitación a un hombre que, sin saberlo ella, tenía problemas mentales, y fuera asesinado por él.

Vivió una vida tranquila en Visalia con muchos animales a los que amaba mucho. Le encantaba cocinar y estar con la familia.

Si pudiera donar algo para ayudar con los costos de su funeral, nuestra familia se lo agradecería mucho. Necesitamos comprar el lote de la tumba, organizar los arreglos funerarios y organizar su servicio conmemorativo, que cuesta aproximadamente $ 30,000, pero con las tarifas de go fund me, estamos pidiendo $ 35,000.

Por favor, mantenga a nuestra familia en oración durante este momento tan difícil.

Muchas gracias por su ayuda mientras superamos esto juntos.

Que Descanse en Paz

Rafaela Reyes Espíndola
