GoFundMe Draft: Bringing Our Mother Crystal Castro Ruiz Home to California

​

​

​Dear friends, family, and kind-hearted strangers,

​ We are reaching out in our time of deepest grief after the unexpected passing of our beloved Mother , on November 22, 2025 in Colorado followed the Light to follow her grandparents in heaven.

​Mom was a bright light in all our lives, a loving wife, mother, and a wonderful person. Above all, she was the anchor for her six beautiful children: Romeo(21), Adriana (20), Angel(16), Alexis( 14 ), Bella ( 13 ) and Caesar(7) As she was a great wife to Scott P. Ruiz. We are now left without our mother, and a husband without his wife. Our family is doing everything they can to support us with our loss.

​Our most immediate and pressing need is to bring Mom's body home to California so she can be laid to rest among her family and loved ones at Riverview Cemetery in Brawley,CA especially her children, who need to say a final goodbye.

​The financial burden of this unexpected transfer is overwhelming. We are facing costs for:

​Body Transportation: Moving Crystal Castro Ruiz our Mother from Colorado to California.

​Funeral and Burial Services: Costs for the service and cemetery plot in California.

​Immediate Support for her 6 Children: Funds to help provide for their immediate needs as we navigate this transition.

​Our goal is to raise $12k to cover these essential costs. Every single donation, no matter how small, will directly help us honor our Mother's memory and give her the farewell she deserves.

​Please help us alleviate this immense stress so we can focus on grieving and caring for her six children.

​Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your prayers, shares, and support during this unimaginable time.

​With deep gratitude, Romeo, Adriana, Angel, Alexis, Bella, Caesar, Scott
