Hello my name is Rosie Celis, and I am grateful for you taking the time to read this. My family has been blind sided my the loss of my beautiful cousin Erica Balladerez De Santiago passing away on April 9th, 2023 at the age of 42. Erica is a wife to Eddie De Santiago and a loving mother to three children and a sister to Georgina Edwards. Erica entered the hospital on February 28th and remained at Olive View Hospital until she was called Home. The cause of death is yet to be determined, however it’s suspected that her tracheotomy was inserted and hit the main arterial in her neck to cause bleeding.

The money donated will help Eddie with burial expenses. Eddie has been on paid family leave and has yet to receive payment since he’s been out of work. Erica was a stay at home mother leaving Eddie to care for three children on his own while juggling being at the bedside of his wife, Erica during this time.

Any amount you are willing to donate at this time is more than appreciated. We all are suffering in many ways of our own in different ways, if one of those ways is financially and you cannot donate at this time please pass this along to any one and everyone you may know. At this time the family has no funds to bury their mother, wife, and sister. I ask that we please come together to relieve them from this unexpected burden.
