Help bring Andres Castro home

Today (8/25), our family experienced an unimaginable loss, my oldest brother, Andres Castro, passed away.

He had been in Bolivia celebrating his and his wife’s birthdays and visiting her family. On their flight back to the U.S., my brother suddenly stopped breathing. The plane made an emergency landing in Colombia, where we learned he had suffered a heart attack. Despite being rushed to the hospital, it was too late.

My brother was only 39 years old. He leaves behind his wife, Suanny, his son AJ, his siblings, and parents who loved him deeply. This is not a grief we ever imagined facing so soon.

As you might know, my mom has suffered from severe heart failure since April, and my siblings and I have been her primary caregivers. We’re stretched thin and our focus is bringing my brother’s body back to Oregon.

We are trying to work with funeral services in Colombia to return his body to Oregon. The estimated cost is around $25,000 to prepare and transport him home and hold a funeral here.

We humbly ask for your prayers, for you to share this GoFundMe, and, if you are able, for any financial support you can provide. Every prayer, share, and donation means so much to us as we walk this difficult road.

We put our trust in God and know that He will provide a path forward. He always makes a way. ❤️
