Our family is experiencing the most heartbreaking time of our lives. My sister, Arelis "Ari" Rodriguez, is only 25 years old. After a long and courageous battle with metastatic, terminal neuroblastoma, today she lost her battle to cancer. Her cancer has continued to spread throughout her bones, brain and vital organs. Despite the unimaginable pain she has endured, Ari has remained one of the strongest, kindest, and most hopeful people we know. She always found a way to smile, lift the spirits of those around her, and remind us to cherish even the smallest moments.

As our family prepares to say goodbye, we are facing the emotional and financial burden of planning her funeral. We are also hoping to ease some of the financial strain on our mother, who has been out of work while caring for Ari throughout her illness and will need additional time to grieve after her passing.

If you are able to donate, no amount is too small, and every contribution will go directly toward Ari's funeral expenses and helping our mother through this incredibly difficult time. If donating isn't possible, sharing this fundraiser with others and keeping our family in your prayers would mean more than words can express. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for every prayer, every kind word, every share, and every act of generosity. Your love and support have carried our family through this unimaginable journey, and we are deeply grateful for every person who has stood beside us. Thank you for helping us honor Ari's life and surround our family with love during this incredibly difficult time.

Nuestra familia está viviendo el momento más desgarrador de nuestras vidas. Mi hermana, Arelis "Ari" Rodriguez, tiene solo 25 años. Después de una larga y valiente lucha contra el neuroblastoma metastásico y terminal, hoy perdio su batalla con cancer. Su cáncer ha seguido extendiéndose por sus huesos, cerebro y órganos vitales. A pesar del dolor inimaginable que ha soportado, Ari ha sido una de las personas más fuertes, amables y esperanzadas que conocemos. Siempre encontraba la manera de sonreír, levantar el ánimo de quienes la rodeaban y recordarnos que debemos apreciar incluso los momentos más pequeños.

Mientras nuestra familia se prepara para despedirse, enfrentamos la carga emocional y financiera de planificar su funeral. También esperamos aliviar parte de la presión económica de nuestra madre, quien ha estado sin trabajo cuidando a Ari durante su enfermedad y necesitará tiempo adicional para recuperarse después de su partida.

Si puedes donar, no importa la cantidad, cada contribución irá directamente a los gastos del funeral de Ari y a ayudar a nuestra madre en este momento tan difícil. Si no puedes donar, compartir esta recaudación de fondos y mantener a nuestra familia en tus oraciones significaría más de lo que las palabras pueden expresar. Desde el fondo de nuestro corazón, gracias por cada oración, cada palabra amable, cada vez que compartes y cada acto de generosidad. Tu amor y apoyo han sostenido a nuestra familia durante este viaje inimaginable, y estamos profundamente agradecidos por cada persona que ha estado a nuestro lado. Gracias por ayudarnos a honrar la vida de Ari y rodear a nuestra familia de amor en este momento tan difícil.
