Gilberto Cervantes Funeral and Burial Fund

Donation protected
Less than a week after losing his mother, my grandmother, my uncle lost his life after battling complications related to COVID-19. My uncle's family, especially his children and grandchildren, were his treasure. He was the backbone of his family and his absence will be greatly felt for a multitude of reasons. His immediate family were all affected physically and financially by the pandemic and as they are all recovering and enduring this immense loss, we request your help in helping to pay his funeral and burial costs. My uncle's life was once saved due to a kidney transplant some years ago but since then, he has been unable to work due to ambulatory disability. It pains our whole family that he has succumbed to this virus after all that his family had already endured in  giving a second chance at this life he loved so much. His faith kept him grounded and his love was immeasurable. We would appreciate any amount, big or small that will help our family. We understand that it is difficult for everyone financially at this time but together, we can help ease each other's burdens. The amount you give will help cover funeral, burial, and medical costs. We are deeply grateful for your generosity and help. 

Menos de una semana después de perder a su madre, mi abuela, mi tío perdió la vida después de luchar contra las complicaciones relacionadas con COVID-19. La familia de mi tío, especialmente sus hijos y nietos, eran su tesoro. Él era la columna vertebral de su familia y su ausencia se sentirá mucho por una multitud de razones. Su familia inmediata se vio afectada física y financieramente por la pandemia y ya que se están recuperando y soportando esta inmensa pérdida, solicitamos su ayuda para ayudarlos a pagar los costos de su funeral y entierro. La vida de mi tío se salvó una vez debido a un trasplante de riñón hace algunos años, pero desde entonces no ha podido trabajar debido a una discapacidad ambulatoria. A toda nuestra familia le duele que haya sucumbido a este virus después de todo lo que su familia ya había soportado para darle una segunda oportunidad en esta vida que tanto amaba. Su fe lo mantuvo firme y su amor era inconmensurable. Agradeceríamos cualquier cantidad, grande o pequeña que ayude a nuestra familia. Entendemos que es difícil para todos financieramente en este momento, pero juntos podemos ayudar a aliviar las cargas de los demás. Su  donación cubrirá los gastos de funeral, entierro y gastos médicos. Estamos profundamente agradecidos por su generosidad y ayuda.
