On January 3rd, we received the heartbreaking news that my uncle, Elias Ruiz, passed away. The start of the year has been incredibly difficult for our family, and with heavy hearts, we are reaching out for help to put him to rest. My uncle was a sweet and caring man who will be deeply missed by his children, grandchildren, and especially by his wife, Maria Ruiz. His grandchildren adored him, and he was like a father to them. For 35 years, he was my aunt's partner in life, and she is devastated by his loss.

My aunt is now facing the overwhelming task of arranging her husband's funeral and memorial. She is grieving deeply and is unprepared for the expenses that come with saying goodbye. We want to give my uncle the farewell he deserves and allow my aunt to grieve without the added stress of financial worries.

We are humbly asking for support to help cover the funeral and memorial costs during this difficult time. Any contribution, no matter the amount, would mean so much to our family. Your kindness will help us honor my uncle's memory and support my aunt as she navigates this painful loss. Thank you so much in advance for your generosity and compassion.
