<div>Carmen Illapa Verdezoto was a beloved grandmother, visiting Stamford, Connecticut from Ecuador to spend precious time with her children and grandchildren. On Friday morning, an unimaginable tragedy struck when Carmen was struck by a vehicle and sadly did not survive. Her sudden passing has left her family heartbroken, searching for ways to honor her memory and fulfill her final wishes. Carmen was a hardworking woman who devoted her life to her family and her church. She cared deeply for everyone around her, always offering help and support to those in need. Her warmth, strength, and loving presence touched everyone she met, and her loss is felt deeply by all who knew her. 
</div>
<div> 
</div>
<div> Carmen’s wish was to be buried in her home country, Ecuador, close to her loved ones. The family is now facing the difficult task of arranging funeral services, transportation, and other expenses to fulfill this wish. Lisbeth and the family are asking for help from their community to raise funds so they can honor Carmen’s memory and send her home as she wished. Your kindness and generosity will make a difference in this difficult time, helping the family find comfort and closure as they say goodbye to a remarkable woman who meant so much to so many.

<div> Carmen Illapa Verdezoto fue una querida abuela que visitaba Stamford, Connecticut desde Ecuador para pasar tiempo precioso con sus hijos y nietos. El viernes por la mañana, una tragedia inimaginable ocurrió cuando Carmen fue atropellada por un vehículo y lamentablemente no sobrevivió. Su partida repentina ha dejado a su familia con el corazón roto, buscando maneras de honrar su memoria y cumplir sus últimos deseos. 
</div>

</div>
<div> Carmen fue una mujer trabajadora que dedicó su vida a su familia y a su iglesia. Se preocupaba profundamente por todos a su alrededor, siempre ofreciendo ayuda y apoyo a quienes lo necesitaban. Su calidez, fortaleza y presencia amorosa tocaron a todos los que la conocieron, y su pérdida se siente profundamente por todos. 
</div>
<div> 
</div>
<div> El deseo de Carmen era ser enterrada en su país natal, Ecuador, cerca de sus seres queridos. Ahora la familia enfrenta la difícil tarea de organizar los servicios funerarios, el transporte y otros gastos para cumplir este deseo. Lisbeth y la familia piden ayuda a su comunidad para recaudar fondos y así poder honrar la memoria de Carmen y enviarla a casa como ella quería. Su amabilidad y generosidad marcarán la diferencia en este momento difícil, ayudando a la familia a encontrar consuelo y cierre mientras se despiden de una mujer extraordinaria que significó tanto para muchos.
