Hello, I am Marcellina and raising money to help with Memorial costs for my father, Richard Villanueva, passing.

On Saturday June 17th, I received a call that my dad was being rushed to the hospital for a sudden heart attack. I rushed to the hospital as soon as I received the call and was rushed to the back of the hospital where I would see him wheeled by for the last time alive and talking. I didn't have a chance to say anything or tell him how much he meant to me.

30 minutes later the doctor came out and let me know the horrible news. That he has passed away and they were unable to bring him back.

My dad lived a life full of giving and helping others in any way he knew how, with nothing but the best and most selfless intentions. If all he had left was the shirt on his back, he would have given it up to any person in need before thinking twice about himself. He was always there for his family the best he was able to be and never hesitated when it came to us needing help.

This all comes at a time where I am unemployed and do not have the money to give him a proper memorial that he deserves. I am asking for help from anyone that is able to help give him a proper memorial service for the friends and family he left behind. As he has touched the heart of so many I want to make sure they are able to pay respects.

The funds will go to the family to help pay for the memorial service, foods, flowers, and other costs that need to be taken care of in this time.

Thank you all for any help you are able to give.

-Marcellina

I am also asking anyone that knew him to send me photos, stories, and other memories they have of my Dad as I do not have many photos of him (especially of recent years) and he didn't talk much about his life and story. I would like to create a memory book and use the photos for the services.
