On April 29, 2025, my family’s world was shattered when my brother, Javi, was tragically taken from us at only 42 years old. In the midst of deep grief and shock, my mother wanted her son home as soon as possible, so we made the difficult decision to have him cremated.

Now that some time has passed, and we have had a moment to breathe, I want to honor my brother’s life the way he truly deserves—with a proper burial and a resting place where my mother can visit, talk to him, and find comfort.

I am not someone who normally asks for financial help, but the cost of making this possible is more than I can manage alone. I have already put in what I can, but I am still $5,000 short of being able to give Javi the peaceful place he deserves.

Any donation, no matter how small, will bring us closer to giving my brother a final resting place and giving my mother a place to keep his memory alive. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for reading, sharing, and supporting us during this painful time.
