Help Cover Tía Nery's Funeral Costs

Hello, Family.

As you many of you know, Tía Nery passed away on May 19, 2025. She was placed in hospice care at the facility where she lived, just one week prior, due to end-stage bronchiectasis, a lung condition with which she was apparently born. Although doctors had given her four to six months, Tía, in true Nereida fashion, went on her own terms.

Her passing has placed an unexpected financial burden on our cousin Melvin, who, while doing everything he could to prepare, is now facing costs that exceed what he and his amazing wife Brandi had set aside. If you know Melvin, you know he would never ask for help, but I’m asking on his behalf.

In lieu of flowers, would you consider making a contribution to cover the remaining balance of her final expenses? Any amount would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your love, support, and generosity.

With love,

Nairobi (Cucha)

PS…Mel—Joe, the kids, and I can’t express our sadness enough. Their happy memories are Tía making them her potato salad which they loved because she minced the peppers and onions so small that they’d actually eat them. Jake’s memory is: “She made me the best gift ever!” It was a handmade beanbag that she’d sewn by hand.

Hola familia,

Como muchos de ustedes saben, nuestra querida tía Nery falleció el 19 de mayo de 2025. Solo una semana antes, fue ingresada a cuidados paliativos en el centro donde vivía, debido a una bronquiectasia en etapa terminal, una condición pulmonar con la que, al parecer, nació. Aunque los médicos estimaron que le quedaban de cuatro a seis meses, tía, fiel a su estilo Nereida, partió en sus propios términos.

Su partida ha representado una carga financiera inesperada para nuestro primo Melvin, quien, a pesar de haber hecho todo lo posible por prepararse, ahora enfrenta gastos que superan lo que él y su increíble esposa Brandi habían podido ahorrar. Si conocen a Melvin, saben que jamás pediría ayuda, así que lo hago yo por él.

En lugar de enviar flores, ¿considerarías hacer una contribución para cubrir el saldo restante de sus gastos finales? Cualquier cantidad será profundamente agradecida.

Gracias por su amor, apoyo y generosidad.

Con cariño,

Nairobi (Cucha)
