My grandpa Epifanio Gonzalez suddenly passed away on Friday April 24th after being struck by a vehicle while he was on his way to work. Grandpa was an 85 year old man who worked his entire life to provide for his family. Although he was an elder senior citizen beyond the traditional working age groups, he refused to sit idle at home, instead choosing to recycle metals to earn his money. Epifanio lived a long life in Mexico D.F where he worked in masonry and built many houses for others, he was a devoted Christian who followed the word of God and took care of his seven children and his wife. Abuelito was a joyful person, cherished time with his family, his grandchildren, and loved his great grandchildren.

We are raising funds to help pay for funeral expenses, repatriation of Grandpa Epifanio to his final resting place in Oaxaca, Mexico, and to cover any additional costs related to the burial. This loss has deeply impacted our family, especially my grandmother, who has been with Epifanio for 60 years. She is heartbroken, and we want to be able to support her and cover her expenses during this difficult time. Our family is heartbroken by this sudden loss, and we want to honor his memory by giving him the farewell he deserves. Any contribution, no matter the size, will help us during this difficult time.

Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and support. Your help means so much to our family as we navigate this challenging moment and celebrate the life of a man who gave so much to those around him.
