Help Bring Maria Home for Her Final Rest

Donation protected

Dear Friends and Family,

It is with a heavy heart that we share the news of our beloved mother, Maria Santos Aparicio, who passed away on March 29, 2025. Our mother was in Tecate, Mexico, on her way back to the United States when she fell asleep and did not wake up. Her best friend called for help, and they performed CPR while waiting for emergency services. Despite their efforts and those of the emergency services, our mom did not survive. Words cannot express the depth of our sadness at this moment.

Our mother was truly extraordinary; she embodied compassion, strength, and an abundance of love.

We are reaching out to support in covering the costs of transporting her remains to the United States and funeral services. The financial burden of these expenses is overwhelming, and we hope to ease the strain on our family during this difficult time.

Any contribution, no matter how small, will make a significant difference in allowing us to rest our mom, Maria Aparicio. We are eternally grateful for your support and kindness during this challenging time. Your thoughts, prayers, and generosity mean the world as we navigate our grief.

With heartfelt gratitude,
Avila, Aparicio, and Barrios Family
