Ray Martinez is not well. My husband suffered a stroke and is now under the care of hospice at home. Ray has always been a fighter, and despite his many accomplishments, we now face the difficult task of preparing for his final wishes. We want to honor Ray with all the respect and pride he deserves, but unfortunately, his Veteran status has not provided the support needed for his wish to be cremated.

The funds raised will go directly toward cremation costs, transport to a military mortuary and cemetery, and memorial arrangements. As his devoted wife, I am reaching out to family, friends, and our community for help to lighten the financial burden and ensure Ray receives the dignified farewell he deserves. Your support will help us place him into our heavenly Father's merciful hands, just as he wished.

We are grateful for any donation, no matter the size. Thank you for your kindness, prayers, and support during this difficult time. God bless everyone who can help us honor Ray’s memory.
