Juan Ricardo Maldonado was a devoted father of seven—Victor, Juan, Karen, Carlos, Hector, Erick, and Ammy Maldonado—and a loving husband to Maria Maldonado. At just 52 years old, he was a passionate soccer fan, with El Toluca as his favorite team, and he brought joy and warmth to everyone around him. Juan Ricardo was not only a father, but also a cherished grandfather, brother, and uncle. He still had so much life left to live, but God had other plans for him, and his sudden passing has left a deep pain in our hearts, especially during this season when family means so much.

As we all know, December is a month of holidays and togetherness, but for our family, it has become a time of unexpected loss and hardship. We were already struggling to make ends meet, and we never imagined we would be facing funeral expenses for our beloved dad so suddenly. Our family wants nothing more than to honor Juan Ricardo and give him the farewell he deserves, but we need help to do so.

With our hands on our hearts, we ask for support from anyone who can help us raise money for my dad's funeral expenses. Your kindness will help us lay him to rest as soon as possible and bring some comfort to our family during this difficult time. Please help us today—for us, tomorrow for you.
